The Red Book

Title: The Red Book
Description: Medical historians recognize The Red Book as one of Carl Jung’s most influential texts. In it, Jung recounts and comments upon his psychological experiments from 1913-1916 exploring his “inner processes,” originally published as Jung’s Black Books. The Red Book is a revision of these works, accompanied by Jung’s own paintings. Unpublished in his lifetime, the book was kept privately for his descendants’ viewing from 1962-2009. However, emerging legal debate over Jung’s specifications for his unpublished work led to the book’s publication in 2009. The Red Book has been published as a facsimile of his calligraphic manuscript, with extensive publication and editorial notes as well as English translations of his essays. This edition is the originally published full-color facsimile and collection from 2009.
