Summary
Carl Gustav Jung: The Red Book
When Carl Gustav Jung embarked on a long journey into the unknown regions of the self and self-exploration, he called this psychological odyssey "facing the unconscious". The process and results of that research are contained most comprehensively and openly in his most enigmatic work, the so-called The Red Book, which he wrote between 1914 and 1930. Jung's many years of research into the human image have left a mark on this book: in it, we will encounter new and unusual aspects of Jung's teachings on archetypes, the collective unconscious, the process of individuation, ideas about the gradual transformation of psychotherapy from a practice aimed at treating psychological ailments and illnesses to a means that can serve a deeper and more fundamental personality development. Jung himself considered the Red Book his most significant work, although it was, until recently, only available to a small group of people. This book from Jung's legacy was published only in 2009. It functions as a mysterious mechanism that reveals the essential stages of the development of contemporary psychology.
