The Red Book

On Saturday, I was reading current even articles and came across the news that "The Red Book" by Carl Jung has been publicly released.
I was never familiar with Carl Jung nor The Red Book, but I am quite familiar with Sigmund Freud, who he studied under. I remember reading a few years back about Freud's concept of the psychosexual development. I don't really know how I started reading about that and it does seem disgusting, but it was worth it. Freud has also received critique on this theory, particularly from females. Although I have not directly experienced his concepts, they seem quite convincing especially due to the media and personal stories from others. I'm very intrigued by his studies including how he adapted the "pressure technique" from Breuer's female hysteria case.

Our development relies on our brain. How we develop our specific actions or thoughts isn't pin-pointed yet and I doubt it ever will. The brain is too complex to fully analyze, but we can pick out the obvious things and if we're lucky enough－ the more difficult. It's just astonishing how people come up with these things.
A specific division of psychology I like the most would be depth psychology. Being related to my previous blog; it includes the study of dreams, complexes and archetypes. Since it's a mind twisting subject with endless possibilities that are yet unconfirmed.

I'm glad that The Red Book is being publicly displayed at the Rubin Museum in New York and excited that the translated version is being released this December. Due to its massive size, it's pretty expensive. Not only does it include Jung's theories, but it includes rich illustrations of Buddhist symbols and mythological creatures; which catches to my interests for complex and abstract art.

I find it interesting how this book was never published until now; which makes me think of all of the other documents or books that still remain unpublished. I'm a very curious person and if I learn something new, I WILL look into it. And of course, one thing will lead to another and it will just become an endless loop that I just can't fully comprehend.
