Marie-Louise von Franz

Swiss Jungian analyst who met Jung at 18 and remained his closest intellectual collaborator — developing his work on fairy tales (the purest expressions of archetypal patterns), alchemy, number symbolism, and the psychological interpretation of myths — and whose interpretive work is the most accessible entry to deep Jungian analysis.

Austrian-Swiss theoretical physicist who received the 1945 Nobel Prize for the Pauli exclusion principle — and who, while in Jungian analysis with a student of Jung's, entered a 25-year intellectual correspondence with Jung about synchronicity, the relationship between quantum mechanics and psychology, and the unus mundus.
