Friends of Jung-South (FOJS) was founded in the early 1970s in Birmingham, Alabama, sparked by the interest of people who wanted to learn more about the teachings of Swiss psychoanalyst, Dr. C. G. Jung. In the pioneering days of discovering the unconscious, Jung was a member of Freud's inner circle. Using the Freudian foundation, Jung responded to his own growing understanding of the unconscious. In developing his own ideas, he went on to found the school of depth psychology known as analytical psychology.
