Abstract
The early days of American psychoanalysis form the background of this discussion, which reviews Jung's 1912 visit to America. The article focuses on Jung's contact with fifteen African American patients at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington D.C., and it considers Jung's archetypal interpretation of one patient's dream. Jung's opinions regarding African Americans are contrasted with the development of the concept of a positive cultural consciousness pertaining to African Americans. Contemporary and past American societal issues regarding the history of American psychoanalysis and race are discussed, as well as the necessity of a positive multicultural consciousness in American Jungian psychology.
