Just for clarification ..

Just for clarification I take in the history and development of A A see susan Cheevers book,'My Name is Bill', this'll be the same Jung who before the inception of it treated Rowland Hazard. After a year, sure he had 'cured' Rowland of his alcoholism, he sent him home from his clinic in Vienna to New York.

Rowland got drunk and remained so on the boat home, eventually sobering up in the Oxford Movement, the forerunner of AA.

I presume it's also the same Jung, who in later correspondence with Bill W., on of the co-founders of A A , endorsed the need, in recovery, for a spiritual experience or education above anything he could offer...?

Personally I take Clancy's view that once you try to psychoanalyse in recovery, and he tried a lot of it! You will never get better ...
