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.

Praise for Reading The Red Book
"Drob writes with the heart of a spiritual seeker and the mind and eye of a scholar
... Reading The Red Book, along with his earlier work, has established him as an
 important and unique voice in Jungian scholarship."
Stanton Marlan, Ph.D., ABPP, President of the Pittsburgh Society of Jungian Analysts, 
and author of The Black Sun: The Alchemy and Art of Darkness
"Sanford Drob has provided us with an indispensable guide to the structure 
and function, the purpose and meaning of Jung's hidden masterpiece: 
this lucid commentary will surely establish itself as the inevitable starting-point of 
Red Book interpretation for many years to come."
Paul Bishop, Ph.D., Professor, University of Glasgow, and
 author of Reading Goethe at Midlife
"An outstanding map to guide the reader through the labyrinth of associations, 
images, and thoughts contained in Jung's Red Book. Drob locates its innumerable 
themes within an historical context of classical, modern, and postmodern 
philosophy, connects Jung's ideas with his later works, and elucidates Jung's 
unique contribution to Western thought. Reading The Red Book is a work of 
exploration that serves as a companion to any reader who wishes to fathom 
the secrets of Jung's most enigmatic work."
John Hill, M.A., Senior Jungian Training Analyst, Zürich, and author of  
At Home in the World: Sounds and Symmetries of Belonging
"In this essential companion to Jung's Red Book, Drob tracks the path of 
Jung's psychological wrestlings, placing those struggles within the broader 
tradition of philosophical, theological, and mystical thought. In this way the 
reader is privileged access to witness not only the astonishing raw, bloody, 
personal birthing of Jung's ideas—but then also to be led into more tranquil
 areas for reflection. Drob's comments as well as thematic groupings aid one
in imagining those squirming offspring into realms with implications both 
practical as well as ideological. This book is clear, intelligent and helpful—
truly a must read for those who dare cross the Red Book portal."
Pat Berry, Ph.D., President, Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, a
nd author of Echo's Subtle Body: Contributions to an Archetypal Psychology
"...a much needed antidote to the perilous times in which we live where o
ur political, economic, educational and environmental practices are in dire 
need of the soul's perspective."
Robert D. Romanyshyn, Professor, Pacifica Graduate Institute, and creator of 
the multi-media DVD, Antarctica: Inner Journeys in the Outer World
