Reading the Red Book:

A Thematic Guide to C.G. Jung's Liber Novus

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.

At Home In The Language Of The Soul:

Exploring Jungian Discourse and Psyche’s Grammar of Transformation

Language has a primary importance in Jungian psychology and its practice. C.G. Jung saw every act of speech as a psychic event. Even the "worker" words in language, like prepositions or conjunctions, carry particular archetypal energies, working dynamically and daimonically in the conduct of transformational narrative and realizing both personal and collective purposes. This book aims to deepen our consciousness of psyche's speech as it occurs in our professional discourses, in the psychoanalytic encounter, in dreams, fairy tales, myths, and poetry. Vividly exploring the grammar of the psyche, we are urged to constantly kindle and rekindle our engagement with language.
