JUNG, CARL: Richard M. Dubiel, "The Emmanuel Movement and the Jacoby Club."

JUNG, CARL: Cora Finch, "Stellar Fire: Carl Jung, a New England Family, and the Risks of Anecdote," link to her account on the Stellarfire website of Rowland Hazard's life and struggles with alcoholism, and the evidence proving that he was Carl Jung's patient in 1926, not 1931
