Journey into the Unconscious: Jung's Transformative Years

This chapter explores Carl Jung's deep commitment to individual psychotherapy and his personal journey into the unconscious, shedding light on his transformative experiences documented in The Red Book. It contrasts Jung's broader perspective on the psyche with Freud's more reductionist views, delving into Jung's critique of traditional psychoanalysis during a tumultuous period in his career. The chapter highlights the significance of embracing irrationality as part of personal growth and touches on Jung's transformative techniques, including active imagination, which have influenced modern psychotherapy.
