Transformation of the Psyche

The Symbolic Alchemy of the Splendor Solis

To celebrate the momentous birthday of Joseph L. Henderson, one of the first generation of Jungian analysts, we are pleased to present this website dedicated to his stunning new book, co-authored with practising analyst, Dyane N. Sherwood.

Transformation of the Psyche: The Symbolic Alchemy of the Splendor Solis is a unique book that will be of immense value and interest to analysts and psychotherapists, as well as scholars of medieval and Renaissance intellectual history and students of spiritual disciplines.

In this website you will find a Preface to the book written by Joseph L. Henderson, a full Introduction written by Dyane N. Sherwood, author pictures and biographies, and most excitingly, a selection of full colour plates from the book, which, when clicked on, will reveal the image in greater detail and an extract of text from the book demonstrating the analysis of the symbolism and allusions within.

In addition, you can find a full blurb, list of contents and the option to buy online using our secure ecommerce system on the Book Details page.

Please also have a look at our Jung Arena, which contains all our publications in this area. Lastly we offer a free email alerting service to bring you new book information and special offers to anyone interested in Jung.

We hope you enjoy the website and look forward to the publication of this beautiful book. Please join us in wishing Dr. Henderson a very happy birthday!
