Sonu Shamdasani

British-Sri Lankan historian of psychology at University College London who is the world's foremost Jung scholar — having edited The Red Book (2009) and The Black Books (2020), written Jung and the Making of Modern Psychology, and providing the most rigorous historical account of analytical psychology's development.

Transformed Jung scholarship from hagiography to history — by accessing the Zurich archives and publishing The Red Book and Black Books, Shamdasani revealed the actual historical development of Jung's ideas, displacing the idealized official version with a more complex and humanly interesting one.
