## Description

desertcart.com: Anatomy of the Psyche: Alchemical Symbolism in Psychotherapy (Reality of the Psyche Series): 9780812690095: Edinger, Edward F.: Books

Review: Best alchemy book - Very clear presentation of main 7 stages. I suspect there are more stages that Edinger could have explored - but these are great. Very helpful in thinking about dreams.
Review: Beneficial Resource on the Subject - I picked up this book at the suggestion of a friend due to my interest in the dream work, and I've discovered it to be an excellent study on symbolism and how it can be applied to the symbolism of our dreams as well in ourselves. This book is divided into seven stages corresponding to different functions of the Alchemical Work and their psychological analogues, which all added to my understanding of the symbolism and its importance on one's psychology. I most certainly agree with one reviewer that there are no hard and fast rules in decoding the symbolism of dreams as I often found myself at disadvantages with interpreting my own dreams for self-growth. But, it is best to gain more theories and guidelines on the subject which become the available tools for us to use in interpreting. Indeed, this book is not an easy reading but proved to be useful and one of excellent resources on the subject.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best alchemy book
*by A***R on May 11, 2012*

Very clear presentation of main 7 stages. I suspect there are more stages that Edinger could have explored - but these are great. Very helpful in thinking about dreams.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Concise Map of the Developing Human Mind
*by J***I on February 25, 2015*

Edinger says that the alchemists unintentionally built a map of the human psyche when they developed their theories about the material world; then proceeds to give example after example of the parallels between Jung's psychological framework and the alchemical "discoveries." Well worth the read.
