Murray Stein: Collective Unconscious in Jungian Therapy

In this conversation with Jungian analyst and author Murray Stein, we explore the role of alchemy in C.G. Jung’s psychology, delving into its symbolic language, transformative processes, and the process of individuation. Murray shares insights from his upcoming book on alchemy, offering a rich perspective on how Jung understood it as a metaphor for psychic transformation. We also discuss Jung’s view of Christ and the Self, and how these archetypal images relate to the individuation process and the search for wholeness.
