When Jung was of age 38 he began to have self-induced hallucinations by sitting and forcing horrifying thoughts, voices, and visions that Jung called “doing a schizophrenia” (Corbett, 2006). Jung would soon start writing down what he (Corbett, 2006)thought his mind was trying to tell him, first on scratch parchment, then journals, then finally in a large red leather book (Corbett, 2006). He did this in an attempt to gather a greater understanding of how the brain worked and how the mind functions worked. In this large red leather book he wrote calligraphy and drew elaborate paintings (Corbett, 2006). What was written in these books was not like any of his other academic writing and he later decided to not have it published due to concerns of being mocked by his peers (Corbett, 2006).This red book was kept in Jung’s desk drawer to be forgotten. It was not until 1989 (28 years after Jung’s death) that it was scanned and published by W.W. Norton (Corbett,
