twelve essays—eight of which appear here in English for the first time—the

of psychotherapy from a Jungian perspective. She draws on her many years of

and theories, and her wide-ranging interests in fields such as mythology,
alchemy, science, and religion to illumine these varied topics:
- Projection

- Group
psychology - Personality
types - Active
imagination - The
therapeutic use of hallucinogenic drugs - The
choice of psychotherapy as a profession - The
role of religious experience in psychological healing
