INTRODUCING THE RED BOOK OF C.G. JUNG
In December 1913 C.G. Jung let himself descend into the imagery of the unconscious and pursued these images for some years, in a process he later called “active imagination”. He confronted the powerful factors in the unconscious, which naturally personify themselves, and recorded his experiences in a book which he called the Liber Novus (New Book) or Red Book. In the recently published and beautifully reproduced Red Book we are privileged to witness his primary experience of the unconscious, which became the basis of his psychology and therapeutic practice.
TERENCE MCBRIDE trained at the C.G. Jung Institute Zurich and obtained the post graduate diploma in Analytical Psychology in 1979. He is a former president of the C.G. Jung Society of Sydney, and works as a Jungian analyst in private practice in Arncliffe
