As they remark, Jung’s opus was not for personal effect, but to bring something from the depths back to the world. G. Jung Institute and founded a movement toward archetypal psychology, was then appointed as Director of Studies at the institute, a position he held until 1969. Perhaps it is undefined because these men are feeling something or intuitively, seeing something that the living lack the intellectual language for.

Some scholars believe Jung was partially psychotic while writing The Red Book, others claim he was in a state of partial dissociation or simply use Jung’s term “active imagination”. The author suggests that our emergence as a species with stereoscopic, frontal vision and sophisticated hand-eye coordination gave us an advantage over earlier humans and primates because it allowed us to contemplate a situation and ponder alternatives for action. Jung's The Red Book was only published in 2009 after over seventy years gathering dust, and James Hillman passed away in 2011.

The book without the dustcover is red, the same red as both the dustcover and cloth cover of The Red Book. If you are familiar with the Jung's ideas of archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation, and want to know more, then this conversation between two prominent Jungians can help you. While the Red Book is quite a study in itself, the 'Lament of the Dead' assumes an understanding of this secret work of Jung's to move forward into the transcendence of the psyche, and that which lies beyond. Lament of the Dead is a bit of codex to it, through the conversations of two Jung scholar's we get some nice glimmerings and gleanings that went over my head.

While there is a lot of repetition here, with the two of them going over the same ideas and material again and again in different conversations, as well as repeated statements of Hillman’s stance and work on psychology (which may already be familiar to some readers), the book is nonetheless rewarding for the often brilliant insights into not only Jung and his Red Book, but into our culture. For any attempt at self-realization without full recognition of the psychopathology that resides, as Hegel said, inherently in the soul is in itself pathological, an exercise in self-deception. Jung took the broad strokes of his psychology from the fundamentals of the brahman/atman and dharma/moksha dichotomies of Hinduism.Campbell, and American post jungians in general were not alway great attributing influences and credit where it was due. Shamdasani has deftly avoided the fads, misappropriations and superficialization that have plagued the Jungian school of thought for decades.
