'Ann Ulanov's meditations in relationship to The Red Book resonate with my own. She is correct in that reading that book precipitates a crisis....The Red Book is about Jung's break from Freud and his journey to psychic Hell and back, that is, the transformation of his madness into creative purpose. Rightfully so, Jung includes evil in this process. For how else can one know the good without knowing the bad? Jung's Red Book and Ulanov's meditations on it are honest and illustrate meaninglessness, murderous rage, darkness, hopelessness, and their enantiodromia to the guiding light of meaning, joy, inspiration, and hope.' --Foreword
