Alchemy is central to Jung's hypothesis of the collective
unconscious. In this volume he begins with an outline of the
process and aims of psychotherapy, and then moves on to work out
the analogies between alchemy, Christian dogma and symbolism and
his own understanding of the analytic process.
Introducing the basic concepts of alchemy, Jung reminds us of
the dual nature of alchemy, comprising both the chemical process
and a parallel mystical component. He also discusses the seemingly
deliberate mystification of the alchemists. Finally, in using the
alchemical process as providing insights into individuation, Jung
emphasises the importance of alchemy in relating to us the
transcendent nature of the psyche.
