^in 1985 Ansata-Verlag published the first volume of the UR group data reports and documents under rhe tide Magic als WIssenschaft vom Ich (Magic as science of the ego) The second and third volumes of these monographs are to be published by Ansata in forthcoming years.

^Alchemy is not a psychotherapeutic path in the classical sense. It is actually intended for the absolutely spiritually healthy person, in whom "individuation" has already been accomplished. Only then is its practice permitted in order to make of "life” a "super-life.” Where nature alone can do nothing more, there must the alchemical "art" take over. The alchemical work is psychotherapeutic only to the extent that the great healing (reintegration of man in transcendence) stands in analogy to the small healing (making the psyche well).
