ABSTRACT
The Red Book, Jung's personal diary of his confrontation with the unconscious, has now been published, ninety-five years after it was written. The Red Book gives us a picture of the raw material from which Jung developed most of his mature writings. There is no question that the Red Book is an important first step toward Jung's own individuation and rediscovery of his soul. The essays in this book are initial attempts at an interpretation from important scholars in the field of analytical psychology. They were presented at a conference in San Francisco, California, on June 4-6, 2010. The conference was sponsored by the Extended Education Committee of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco to celebrate the publication of the Red Book. Each author is deeply involved in Jung studies, and together they present a wide variety of viewpoints.
