About The Author
Richard Wilhelm
Richard Wilhelm, C.G. Jung, and Cary F. Baynes collectively contributed to the Bollingen edition of the I Ching and this presentation of “The Secret of the Golden Flower.” Professor Wilhelm discovered the treatise and recognized it as a practical guide to personality integration. His German translation was hailed by Jung as a link between Eastern insights and his psychological research, a relationship explored in Jung’s commentary.
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He developed his theories under Eugen Bleuler and later worked with Sigmund Freud. His break with Freud established his system as distinct from psychoanalysis. His development of synchronicity, archetypal phenomena, the collective unconscious, and extraversion and introversion were milestones in understanding the human psyche.
