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.
