The Red Book By: Carl Jung

The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung's 'Red Book' is indeed the notebook he kept during the six years of his 'creative illness' in which he was clearly psychotic but found inspiration for some of his most influential ideas. And most interesting, perhaps, was what he called his 'confrontation with the unconscious', shortly after his split from Freud, when he spent six years, largely isolated at home, having visions, hearing voices, fighting what he interpreted as his own internal forces.
