A Reader's Edition of The Red Book (Philemon)

The famous Red Book text and essay have now been published in a portable edition. The Red Book, which was widely acclaimed in 2009, contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung's later works. It was within this text that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation, which would transform psychotherapy from a means of treating the sick into a pathway for the higher development of the personality.

As Sara Corbett wrote in the New York Times, "The creation of one of modern history's true visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung's place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of course, Freud."
