Description

First Published in 1999. This ancient Chinese manual of spiritual alchemy was brought to the West in translation by missionary and theologian Richard Wilhelm who is assisted in this book by Carl Jung. Averse to the blind aping of oriental ways, Jung suggests that Eastern treasures are best used to enrich our understanding of the work we have to do on ourselves and our culture.

Description

Analytical psychology and Jungian psychotherapy continue to be major areas within modern psychology. This set presents a fascinating range of writing by Jungians, some of whom, like Alfred Adler or Erich Neumann, were either a friend or former student of C.G. Jung himself. Titles include Amor and Psyche, Art and the Creative Unconscious, and The Origin and History of Consciousness by Erich Neumann, as well as a key Jungian text The Secret of the Golden Flower, by Richard Wilhelm which includes a foreword and commentary by Jung. Exploring Jungian themes of consciousness, symbols, archetypes, religion and philosophy, this set will be vital reading for those interested in this important area of psychology.
