That page has a button to play the program and also
some text describing it. Here is a little of that text:

"The influential psychologist Carl Gustav Jung analyzed
a period of his own inner turmoil in his private journal,
and it forever changed his thinking about the unconscious
mind. His journal was published in 2009 as The Red Book."

Tomorrow (Tuesday) night I will post a link to the
second part in a followup to this post.

============
The Black Books and The Red Book

In 1913, at the age of thirty-eight, Jung experienced a horrible "confrontation with the unconscious". He saw visions and heard voices. He worried at times that he was "menaced by a psychosis" or was "doing a schizophrenia". He decided that it was valuable experience and, in private, he induced hallucinations or, in his words, a process of "active imagination". He recorded everything he experienced in small journals, which Jung referred to in the singular as his Black Book,[82] considering it a "single integral whole"; and while among these original journals, some have a brown cover.[82] The material Jung wrote was subjected to several edits, hand-written and typed, including another, "second layer" of text, his continual psychological interpretations during the process of editing.[83][84] Around 1915, Jung commissioned a large red leather-bound book,[85][86] and began to transcribe his notes, along with painting, working intermittently for sixteen years

The Red Book (Jung)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Red Book by Carl Jung, 2009 publication

The Red Book: Liber Novus is a red leather‐bound folio manuscript crafted by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung between 1915 and about 1930. It recounts and comments upon the author's psychological experiments between 1913 and 1916, and is based on manuscripts (journals), known as Black Books, first drafted by Jung in 1913–15 and 1917.[1][2] Despite being nominated as the central work in Jung's oeuvre,[3] it was not published or made otherwise accessible for study until 2009.

In October 2009, with the cooperation of Jung's estate, The Red Book was published by W. W. Norton in a facsimile edition, complete with an English translation, three appendices, and over 1,500 editorial notes.[4] Editions and translations in several other languages soon followed.

In December 2012, Norton additionally released a "Reader's Edition" of the work; this smaller format edition includes the complete translated text of The Red Book along with the introduction and notes prepared by Sonu Shamdasani, but it omits the facsimile reproduction of Jung's original calligraphic manuscript.[5]

While the work has in past years been descriptively called simply "The Red Book", Jung did emboss a formal title on the spine of his leather-bound folio: he titled the work Liber Novus (in Latin, the "New Book"). His manuscript is now increasingly cited as Liber Novus, and under this title implicitly includes draft material intended for but never finally transcribed into the red leather folio proper.[6]
