A remarkable collection of material presenting a snapshot of Jung's views in 1935, originating in an interview with Jung in the garden of his Küsnacht home by a Geneva Quaker-Jung study group, led by P. W. Martin, later the author of Experiment in Depth (1955). Among the many insights here, we learn, for example, of Jung's interest in the Quaker use of the word 'concern' and the phrase 'centring down'.
