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 guide to personality integration. His German translation was lauded by Jung as a link between Eastern insights and psychological research.

Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He developed his theories under Eugen Bleuler and Sigmund Freud, later differentiating his system from Freud’s psychoanalysis.
