The long-awaited publication of C. G. Jung’s Red Book in October 2009 was a signal event in the history of analytical psychology. Hailed as the most important work in Jung’s entire corpus, it is as enigmatic as it is profound. Reading The Red Book by Sanford L. Drob provides a clear and comprehensive guide to The Red Book‘s narrative and thematic content, and details The Red Book‘s significance, not only for psychology but for the history of ideas.
