Five long essays that trace Jung's developing interest in alchemy from 1929 onward. An introduction and supplement to his major works on the subject, illustrated with 42 patients' drawings and paintings. "This volume is a great book, and it offers something of a prelude to Jung's monumental Psychology and Alchemy, Mysterium Coniunctionis and Aion.
