Poul Bjerre

About the Author

Poul Bjerre (1876-1964) was a psychiatrist who introduced Freudian psychoanalysis into Swedish psychology.  He was a correspondent of both Freud and Jung, though his opinions later diverged from both men—deciding that the conscious mind predominated over the unconscious, as well as believing Freud ascribed too much significance to sexual matters.
