===Jung=== At the end of 1930, shortly after his postulation of the [[neutrino]] and immediately after his divorce and his mother's suicide, Pauli experienced a personal crisis. In January 1932 he consulted psychiatrist and psychotherapist [[Carl Jung]], who also lived near [[Zürich]]. Jung immediately began interpreting Pauli's deeply [[archetypal]] dreams and Pauli became a collaborator of Jung's. He soon began to critique the [[epistemology]] of Jung's theory scientifically, and this contributed to a certain clarification of Jung's ideas, especially about [[synchronicity]]. A great many of these discussions are documented in the Pauli/Jung letters, today published as ''Atom and Archetype''. Jung's elaborate analysis of more than 400 of Pauli's dreams is documented in ''[[Psychology and Alchemy]]''. In 1933 Pauli published the second part of his book on physics, ''Handbuch der Physik'', which was considered the definitive book on the new field of quantum physics. [[Robert Oppenheimer]] called it "the only adult introduction to quantum mechanics."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Von Meyenn|first=Karl|title=Wolfgang Pauli|journal=Physics Today|date=1 February 2001|volume=54|issue=2|pages=43–48|doi=10.1063/1.1359709|bibcode=2001PhT....54b..43M|doi-access=free}}</ref> The [[Anschluss|German annexation of Austria in 1938]] made Pauli a German citizen, which became a problem for him in 1939 after World War II broke out. In 1940, he tried in vain to obtain Swiss citizenship, which would have allowed him to remain at the ETH.<ref>Charles Paul Enz: ''No Time to be Brief: A Scientific Biography of Wolfgang Pauli'', first published 2002, reprinted 2004, {{ISBN|978-0-19-856479-9}}, [https://books.google.com/books?id=c-UJWhBaZBgC&pg=PA338 p. 338]</ref>
