Eventually, a close friendship and strong professional association developed between the elder [[#Relationship with Freud|Freud and Jung]], which left a sizeable [[Freud-Jung Letters|correspondence]]. In late summer 1909, the two sailed for the U.S., where Freud was the featured lecturer at the twentieth anniversary celebration of the founding of [[Clark University]] in [[Worcester, Massachusetts]], the Vicennial Conference on Psychology and Pedagogy, September 7 - 11. Jung spoke as well and received an honorary degree.<ref>Rosenzweig, Saul. The Historic Expedition to America (1909): Freud, Jung and Hall the King-Maker. N.p., DIANE Publishing Company, 2000.</ref>
 
It was during this trip that Jung first began separating psychologically from Freud, his mentor, which occurred after intense communications around their individual dreams. And it was during this visit that Jung was introduced to the elder philosopher and psychologist [[William James]], known as the “Father of American psychology,” whose ideas Jung would incorporate into his own work.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Koelsch |first=William |date=1984-01-01 |title=Incredible day-dream : Freud and Jung at Clark, 1909 |url=https://commons.clarku.edu/clarkuhistory/2 |journal=Clark University History}}</ref> Jung connected with James around their mutual interests in [[mysticism]], [[Spiritualism (movement)|spiritualism]] and [[Psychical investigator|psychical]] [[Phenomenon|phenomena]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Herrmann |first=Steven |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_bZpzgEACAAJ |title=William James and C.G.

The ideas of both Jung and James, on topics including hopelessness, self-surrender and spiritual experiences, were influential in the development and founding of the international altruistic, self-help movement [[Alcoholics Anonymous]] on June 10, 1935, in [[Akron, Ohio]], a quarter of a century after James’ death and in Jung’s sixtieth year.
