Publisher's Summary

Anatomy of the Psyche is an empirical study by a distinguished Jungian analyst and author presenting case material and related examples from alchemy that throws new light on basic patterns of growing consciousness. Edward F. Edinger draws upon his long experience as a practicing psychotherapist and on his extensive knowledge of religion and myth to peel away the accidental and the insignificant to clarify the objective aspects of the psychotherapeutic process.

"This is a significant amplification and extension of Jung's work." (Psychological Perspectives)

Fascinating exploration of alchemical symbolism

I love Edinger's approach to symbolism. This subject matter of alchemical operations and their relevance to the stages of the development of consciousness is deeply fascinating.

I found the narrator put me off a bit though. His pronunciation of some words and names was odd, and his inflections were almost sermon-like. Actually, he sounded very much like Reverend Lovejoy from the Simpsons!

Still, highly recommend.
