In 1913, at the age of thirty-eight, Jung suffered a bitter experience of "confrontation with the unconscious". He saw images

and heard voices. He was worried that he might suffer from schizophrenia. He wrote everything he saw and heard in a red-covered book that he later called the Red Book. Writing this book took sixteen years, during which Jung lived in isolation

Jung considered this period to be a special and precious period in his life and that it influenced his way of thinking. After Jung's death, his family kept this book in a Swiss bank, and the book remained hidden from researchers and readers until his family agreed to publish it in 2009, after the writer tried to convince the family to publish the book.
