Re: Rowland Hazard/Carl Jung conversation


 

The Language of the Heart, reprints from Bill's writings in Grapevine, contains Dr. Jung's letter to Bill agreeing that the summary on page 27 was accurate. Given Bill Schaberg's research, and Bill's tendency to retell stories (compare his summary of his conversation with Dr. Silkworth just before his visit to Akron in AA Comes of Age to the one in Three Talks to Medical Societies, and the insertion of "Why don't you choose your own conception of God?", added at Hank's insistence, into the conversation between Ebby and Bill)), it is highly probable that the quotation is not entirely accurate. Besides, even if Bill was quoting Rowland accurately, Rowland's account would have been given a number of years after the actual conversation, and Dr. Jung's agreement to the summary was given many many years after the conversation.
