The world was treated to a unique window into the interior life of the great Swiss psychologist.

Along the way, Emma raised a large family, made significant contributions to Analytical Psychology, and treated countless patients herself. The complicated features of the relationship between Emma and Carl Jung are thoughtfully detailed in Love and Sacrifice: The Life of Emma Jung. The book contains a contribution from Helene Hoerni-Jung, the youngest daughter who died on July 1, 2014.
