Eugen Bleuler

Swiss psychiatrist and director of the Burghölzli psychiatric hospital in Zurich who coined the term 'schizophrenia' and 'autism' — and who was Jung's supervisor and initially a supporter of Freudian psychoanalysis before distancing himself from the movement.

Created the institutional home where Jung developed as a psychiatrist — the Burghölzli's rigorous clinical environment — and coined 'schizophrenia' (replacing dementia praecox) and 'ambivalence,' terms that became central to 20th century psychiatry.
