Abstract
The aim of this thesis is a fundamental reconstruction
of the depth psychology movement of the 19th century. By focusing
attention on the four main members of this movement,
Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, C.G. Jung, and otto Rank, the
culminating message that these men preached to mankind wil1
be highlighted. A synthesis of this type was attempted by
Ira Progoff in his book The Death and Rebirth of psychology.
In a paper delivered before The Otto Rank Association in 1974
concerning his (Progoff's), psychological position as outlined
in his book, Progoff comments that as he confined his study
to these four psychologists, he recognized that each of them
passed through a development which took them through three
or four stages. Tracing their continuous development therefore
became like a study of twelve or sixteen separate individuals.
