The author suggests that among the many bonds that attached Freud to Jung, one was derived from the paternal imago and involved a transference from the figure of the Aryan who had once humiliated Jacob Freud in his son's eyes. Braunschweig reviews Freud's works for his use of the term "imago," which only rarely figures in his writings. Even in the few uses of the term in the Standard Edition and in the Freud-Jung correspondence, she finds evidence suggestive of the psychological complications that developed concerning Jung. She reviews the development of Freud's theory chronologically for reflections of the situation with Jung. The most important influences seem to her to be: (1) the phylogenetic traces which in Freud become explanatory concepts in Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, Totem and Taboo, Moses and Monotheism, and in phylogenetic aspects of the superego in The Ego and the Id; (2) the death instinct, which appears in Beyond the Pleasure Principle with a reference to the important article by Sabina Spielrein, inspired by the confused and mystical ideas of Jung; (3) perhaps the superego itself, with the introduction of the structural hypothesis, has certain aspects of the archetypal imago.
