Alchemical Psychology

Alchemical Psychology combines all of Hillman's papers on the alchemical imagination from 1980 to the present. Hillman called the early attempt to present his way of grasping this material, in the 1960s at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, "Alchemical Opus/AnalyticalWork." His intention then as now is to give psychoanalysis another method for imagining its ideas and procedures by showing how alchemy bears directly on psychological life, more clinically immediate and less spiritually progressivist.
