Abstract
Beckett's attendance at one of Jung's lectures and his adoption of a phrase he heard there have long been well known in Beckett Studies. By returning to the transcript of the lecture, however, I demonstrate that the nature of this incident has long been misunderstood. Beckett's creative rewriting of what he saw and heard at the Tavistock Institute is outlined, and I explore the consequences of this. I also consider the way in which some critics have sketched the relation between Jung's theories and Beckett's writing, and emphasise that the difference between the two needs to be recognised.
