- of the archetypes the collective unconscious & the process of individuation
- that transformed psychotherapy from a practice concerned with treatment of the sick into a means for higher development of the personality. While Jung considered " The Red Book" to be his most important work only a handful of people have ever seen it.

The publication of " The Red Book" is a watershed that will cast new light on the making of modern psychology."
