I am deeply appreciative of the guidance and inspiration I derived from Jolande Jacobi’s anthology of Jung’s writings, Psychological Reflections.
My profound thanks go to Sonu Shamdasani, who advised and encouraged me from beginning to end throughout the process.
In the initial stages, Dr. Anne Maguire (1921–2011) encouraged me with great enthusiasm to undertake this work.
I am also indebted to Ross Woodman (1922–2014), who was reading the first draft of the manuscript when he died. Our lengthy conversations on the spirit of Jung will always remain with me.
I thank Daryl Sharp for the warmth of his generosity; Andreas and Regine Schweizer, who understood the importance of this volume from the beginning; and Kevin Toohey, with whom I have shared Jung for many, many years.
Many thanks to Victoria Cowan for her expertise and dedication in compiling the index.
I am grateful to the members of the Board of The Foundation of the Works of C. G. Jung, in particular Ulrich Hoerni, Daniel Niehus, and Thomas Fischer, without whom this work would not be possible; the members of the Board of The Philemon Foundation, Michael Marsman, Craig Stephenson, Caterina Vezzoli, and Beverley Zabriskie, as well as our General Editor, Professor Sonu Shamdasani, in our joint endeavor in helping to bring Jung’s unpublished works to light; and, in particular, to my editor at Princeton University Press, Fred Appel, for catalyzing the project and helping to keep it going thereafter.
To my husband, Tony Woolfson, who supported and aided me always with his unfailing spirit.
Zürich, April 2014.
