Psychology and Alchemy

Book • 1993
In this book, Jung explores the parallels between alchemical processes, Christian dogma, and psychological symbolism.

He argues that alchemy, with its dual nature of chemical and mystical components, provides insights into the process of individuation and the transcendent nature of the psyche.

Jung uses a series of dreams from one of his patients to illustrate how alchemical symbols appear in the psyche, reinforcing his theory of the collective unconscious.

The book is lavishly illustrated with images from alchemical and mythological sources, reflecting Jung's fascination with the esoteric and exoteric expressions of spirituality and the psyche in religion and mysticism.
