The publication of Jung’s ‘Red Book’ (Liber Novus) in 2009 has been an outstanding success, with worldwide sales exceeding all expectations. Since it is a complex book that takes time to absorb, this conference provides an opportunity, two years after its initial publication, for scholars and clinicians to come together to begin to consider its long term meaning and significance for Jungian theory and practice.
