In this book, Jung gives an account for one perplexing empirical fact: there exists a pervasive and striking similarity in the structure, character, and meaning of the dreams of healthy persons, the delusions of the mentally ill, and artistic and mythological symbols the world over. He recounts numerous examples of delusions and hallucinations that closely resemble obscure myths of which the patient could not possibly have had direct knowledge. It is equally well known to the student of mythology and folklore that various motifs are found the world over. As Jung notes in this volume, perhaps Christianization by the latter-day Norse authors could explain why Odin, like Christ, hung from the tree in torment; but what then does one say about Quetzalcoatl?An eloquent witness to Jung's greatness of mind and heart. His idea of the archetype involves profound attitudes towards man's existence and intimates values through which very many people have found a new significance in their lives.

The book—with ten plates, a bibliography, an index, and an appendix of original Latin and Greek texts quoted—provides a final account of Jung's lengthy researches in alchemy. He empirically discovered that certain key problems of modern man were prefigured in what the alchemists called their "art" or "process." Edward F. Edinger poses an important question in the introduction to his book The Mystery of The Conjunctio: The book brings together Jung's essays on general questions of analytic therapy and dream analysis. It also contains his profoundly interesting parallel between the transference phenomena and alchemical processes. The transference is illustrated and interpreted with a set of symbolic pictures, and the bond between psychotherapist and patient is shown to be a function of the kinship libido. Far from being pathological in its effects, kinship libido has an essential role to play in the work of individuation and in establishing an organic society based on the psychic connection of its members with one another and with their own roots.
