Red Book (Liber Novus)

The Red Book, also known as Liber Novus, is a detailed, illustrated journal created by psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung between 1914 and 1930. It documents his intense inner experiences, dreams, visions, and explorations of his subconscious mind during a period of personal crisis. Jung regarded it as a crucial step in understanding his own psyche and developing his theories of individuation and the collective unconscious. The book’s striking handwritten pages and artwork were kept private for decades but were published in 2009, offering insight into his complex process of self-discovery and the roots of his psychological ideas.
