All human relationships are containers of emotional life, but what are the structures underlying them? Nathan Schwartz-Salant looks at all kinds of relationships through an analyst's eye. By analogy with the ancient system of alchemy he shows how states of mind that can undermine our relationships - in marriage, in creative work, in the workplace - can become transformative when brought to consciousness. It is only by learning how to access the interactive field of our relationships that we can enter this transformative process and explore its mysterious potential for self-realization.

The ancient practice of alchemy, which thrived in Europe until
the seventeenth century, dealt with the phenomenon of
transformation--not only of materials (ore into gold) but also of
the human spirit (self into Other). Through their work in the
material realm, alchemists discovered personal rebirth as well as a
linking between outer and inner dimensions.
C. G. Jung first turned to alchemy for personal illumination in
coping with trauma brought on by his break with Freud. Alchemical
symbolism eventually suggested to Jung that there was a "process"
in the unconscious, one that had a goal beyond discharging tension
and hiding pain. In this book, Nathan Schwartz-Salant, a leading
Jungian analyst with an interest in alchemy, brings together a key
selection of Jung's writings on the subject. These writings expose
us to Jung's fascinating reflections on the symbols of
alchemy--such as the three-headed Mercurial dragon, hermaphrodites,
and lions devouring the sun--and brings us closer to the spirit of
his approach to the unconscious, closer than his purely scientific
concepts often allow.

This book offers insights into the inner life of the so-called
borderline patient that are unparalleled in the psychoanalytic or
Jungian literature. Its grasp of the deep anxieties selfhood poses
for the deeply wounded person is thoroughly clinical in its
relevance to treatment and yet almost religious in its respect for
the soul-struggle of the individual caught in this painful
syndrome. Dr. Salant's empathy lifts his work into a class entirely
by itself, as the text to which most psychotherapists will turn
when they want to understand some of their most difficult patients
from the inside.
Fundamental issues of transference and countertransference are
