Kai schrieb: in "demian" hesse is modelling healing experiences he made with c.g. jung, to whom he, i think, went as a client (- keith?). After the death of his father and his wife's psychotic break in 1916, Hesse was analyzed by Jungian scholar, J. B. Lang. Demian was published in 1919. Hesse entered analysis with Jung in 1921.
