Objective: Emma Rauschenbach, the wife of Carl Jung for many years, was a rich heiress, described as an intelligent woman who took the role of assistant in her husband's work. Methods: The authors analyzed Imelda Gaudissart’s book “Love and Sacrifice” and the Italian version titled “Amore e sacrificio. La vita di Emma Jung”, edited by Armando Dadò 2018. Results: The portrait that emerges in the book, is that of an intelligent, beautiful and faithful woman, a good mother. At the age of thirty-two Emma already had five children. By looking at the couple dynamics and the spouse’s destiny, it is possible to read in the book elements of Jungian hermeneutics of the conscious mind and of the archetype. Conclusions: The vision of this book describes how the destiny that each person makes is a unique and unrepeatable story, an intertwining of animus and soul.
