FROM THE PUBLISHER
'What Jung has to convey is so truly original and so far-ranging in its implications that I suspect that this book will be a real challenge even to those most psychologically sophisticated. What he here presents in rich and documented detail can perhaps best be described as an anatomy of the objective psyche... Broadly speaking it is a treasury of images pertaining to the individual's discovery of the self... Mysterium Coniunctionis is a splendid capstone to the life work of a master spirit.' - Edward F. Edinger, Journal of Analytical Psychology.
