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.
In 1944, C. G. Jung experienced a series of visions which he later
described as "the most tremendous things I have ever experienced."
Central to these visions was the "mystic marriage as it appears in
the Kabbalistic tradition", and Jung’s experience of himself as
"Rabbi Simon ben Jochai," the presumed author of the sacred
Kabbalistic text, the Zohar. Kabbalistic Visions explores Jung’s
1944 Kabbalistic visions, the impact of Jewish mysticism on Jungian
psychology, Jung’s archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic
symbolism, and his claim late in life that a Hasidic rabbi, the
Maggid of Mezhirech, anticipated his entire psychology. This book
places Jung’s encounter with the Kabbalah in the context of the
earlier visions and meditations of his Red Book, his abiding
interests in Gnosticism and alchemy, and what many regard to be his
Anti-Semitism and flirtation with National Socialism. Kabbalistic
Visions is the first full-length study of Jung and Jewish mysticism
in any language and the first book to present a comprehensive
Jungian/archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic symbolism.

Symbols of the Kabbalah: Philosophical and Psychological
Perspectives provides a philosophical and psychological
interpretation of the major symbols of the theosophical Kabbalah.
It shows that the Kabbalah, particularly as it is expressed in the
school of Isaac Luria, provides a coherent and comprehensive
account of the cosmos, and humanity's role within it, that is
intellectually, morally, and spiritually significant for
contemporary life.
