One of Jung's most important works, Psychology and Alchemy. Using a series of dreams from one of his patients, he shows how the symbols used by alchemists occur in the psyche as part of the storehouse of mythological images used by the individual in his dream states. The work also has a first part, which introduces the reader to both the religious problems of alchemy and the psychological ones it raises; and an epilogue that constitutes a brief but substantial reflection on the psychic-spiritual situation of contemporary man.
