Carl Jung’s The Red Book is considered to be the most influential unpublished work in the history of psychology.
When Carl Jung embarked on an extended self-exploration he called his confrontation with the unconscious, the heart of it was The Red Book, a large, illuminated volume he created between 1914 and 1930. Here he developed his principle theories—of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation—that transformed psychotherapy from a practice concerned with treatment of the sick into a means for higher development of the personality.
While Jung considered The Red Book to be his most important work, only a handful of people have ever seen it. Now, in a complete facsimile and translation, it is available to scholars and the general public. It is an astonishing example of calligraphy and art on a par with The Book of Kells and the illuminated manuscripts of William Blake. This publication of The Red Book is a watershed that will cast new light on the making of modern psychology.

I love Jung, so I followed a twitter link here. Great personal story you have. I was a massage therapist through the 1980′s and by the mid-80′s I also taught an introductory class on A Course in Miracles. I feel like I’ve just re-re-awakened; I started a web site about the Course in August 2008 and recently a podcast. I expect that I’ll speak and teach again. Glad I found your site. See you on twitter. Peter
