Jung And Alchemy: A Path to Individuation - Murray Stein

nThis book consists of a series of six lectures on C.G. Jung's work with alchemy. It is introductory, and it is interpretive.

Why did Jung regard the study of alchemy as an essential piece of his life's work? What does alchemy add to his psychological understanding of the human being and the individuation process? These are questions addressed in this work for the purpose of opening for the general student of analytical psychology the treasures of Jung's insights as developed in his alchemical writings.n nn nTable of Contentsn nAcknowledgments n nLecture One
