Toni Wolff C G Jung A Collaboration Nan Savage Healy Books
Dr. Nan Savage Healy has delivered a masterpiece. Toni Wolff was one of the two most important people in the life of C. G. Jung. In the midst of the visionary journey documented in his "Red Book: Liber Novus," Toni Wolff was Jung's companion; his awakening love for Toni seemingly opened Jung’s eyes to the mystery of transformation. Eventually, Wolff became an essential collaborator in the primal development of Jung’s psychology. But until now, the life story of this amazing woman had not been adequately documented. Dr. Healy has finally done it, and she has done it right. This book will stand for many years as a signal contribution to history of C. G. Jung, Toni Wolff, and the movement they initiated.Wolff was an extremely private and introverted woman. Her relationship with Jung—she essentially became his “second wife”—was socially awkward, to say the least. Those who knew Toni, Emma and Carl Jung respected the delicacy of their situation, and restrained all comment. Discrete public silence about Toni’s role in Jung’s life persisted for decades after her death. When Jung’s biographical memoir—"Memories, Dreams, Reflections," compiled by Aniela Jaffé—was posthumously published in 1961, concerned editorial hands removed from it all of Jung’s words about Toni Wolff.
Nonetheless, many individuals who knew Toni did make private and, eventually, public comments about her and her importance in Jung’s work. Dr. Healy combed through these primary sources and over years collected essentially everything recorded by people who knew both Toni and Carl. Then the author accomplished something more important: the integrity and balance of her scholarship convinced Toni Wolff’s heirs to open to Dr. Healy their closely guarded archive of Toni’s never before disclosed records, material sequestered for over six decades.
In my little book published in 2015, “Jung in Love: The Mysterium in Liber Novus,” I noted the existence of Toni’s personal diaries, a large collection journals dating from her adolescent years through her death. At the time I wrote, it seemed unlikely that those private journals would be opened to a researcher. But Dr. Healy did the seemingly impossible. She eventually was allowed to examine portions of Toni’s own journal record of her life. Wolff’s journals and dozens of never before released photographs—material that Dr. Healy received permission from Wolff’s heirs to here publish for the first time—vastly enrich this amazing book. Just flipping through the treasure trove of photographs preserved by her family grants a crisp new vision of this little-known woman.
Dr. Healy confesses in her introduction that originally she just wanted to write about Toni Wolff and not about Jung; enough had already been written about Jung. Wisely, however, she eventually realized one could not talk about Toni without integrating Jung’s story. In their collaboration, their lives were linked. Though not the intended focus of her book, the author’s extensive historical treatment of Jung is balanced, accurate, and ultimately fair. And it is skillfully integrated with the Toni’s own history.
To write about these two people without reference to their psychological viewpoints would have been impossible, and Dr. Healy necessarily amalgamates a comprehensive consideration of Toni Wolff’s original writings on feminine psychology. This she integrates with Jung’s work on psychological typology, a conceptual framework to which Wolff was (the author argues) a major contributor. At times, I found the protracted discussions of typology—a recurrent theme in the central sections of the book—a bit too repetitive. A more succinct editorial approach might have condensed this material, but it would have violated the author’s own passionate and expansive intentions. Indeed, throughout the book Dr. Healy probes questions about the deeper nature of feminine psychology and typology, frequently invoking the insightful voices of female analysts and authors who have in recent years further delved this essential subject.
To the above comments, I add a kicker: The book is beautiful. From the cover image, to the last word, this book is a work of art. The author’s own hands were surely involved in the beautiful design and production of her book.
Congratulation, Nan Savage Healy. You accomplished your task, and produced a Masterwork.

Toni Wolff C G Jung A Collaboration Nan Savage Healy Books Reviews
I have read dozens of books by and about Carl G. Jung and books also authored by Marie-Louise Von Fran. I had regarded her book, Psyche and Matter as my favorite until now. I thought I had read everything. Then I decided to get this book because I heard Toni Wolff referenced a couple of times as an aside. Not enough to pursue it really, but I had run out of Jung books to read so I got this one. I am so glad I did because this book is INCREDIBLE! It is the best of all I have read, possibly because it is so personal and therefore resonates more with my feminine mind. It also resonates with the lives of women, women of genius,who had only limited opportunities to express their talents and had to sacrifice much to do so Toni's story has haunted me all day it is that poignant. The motives and life situations of the people who write such complex psychological theories flesh out those theories and cause you to take them with a grain of salt. They were human beings after all...and had their shadow sides. I highly recommend this book.
For the serious reader of C. G. Jung, reading alongside his MEMORIES, DREAMS, REFLECTIONS, and his posthumous THE RED BOOK, there awaits an essential third, shedding incomparable light on both works of Jung's hand. It does so by revealing the individual who helped him through the decisive crisis of his early adult life, i. e., his "confrontation with the unconscious", which by Jung's own admission, led to all his successive formulations and writings.
Toni Wolff was the sole PSYCHOLOGICAL companion for Jung's imaginative, and at times frightful, inner exploration--he being one of the first in history to do so for specifically, psychological consciousness. Yet the brilliant Wolff has remained in the shadows of material around Jung's life and work. Possibly by design by later writers, if not for reasons of imagined respect and/or insubstantial research material at the time, was their reluctance. In her well-researched yet very readable book entitled TONI WOLFF & C. G. JUNG A Collaboration, Nan Savage Healy has righted this wrong, with fresh material in one volume about their relationship, firmly establishing Toni Wolff as the collaboration of his salient ideas.
Healy's work covers not only Jung's journey into the depths, but parts of the whole lives of both individuals. For me this, rather than bringing disrespect upon Jung (for me his writings and followers having had the greatest impact upon my life and work), fills out what happened, and in doing so, the immense human and creative stature of both individuals. Their story has the capacity of raising consciousness in all of us.
