The title is intriguing enough, but not sure if von Franz delivers on the promise of either an analysis of alchemical text or a discussion of the active imagination. What really seems to be going on is her lecture on several curious books that she had been studying, backed by the authoritative teachings of Dr. Jng, and soon centres on Gerhard Dorn, the quasi-mystic doctor from the sixteenth century as a modern medic.

Never failing to surprise with synchronicity in her stories, von Franz continues to delve deep into the psychology of Gerhard Dorn, who wrote dramatic dialogues of the parts of the Self obtaining a wholeness, just like the alchemists sought to achieve. Notably how Jung saw himself in Paracelsus, perhaps von Franz see herself as a student like the physician Dorn yet she takes extra credit for including Zen and Taoism.
