Produktbeschreibung
"The transformation of personality is mysterious, whether it comes about gradually or suddenly. In part, it is the result of the process of aging. Life itself puts a person through a series of transformations similar to the moultings of insects and reptiles.

Central to the discussion are Jung's late writings on the alchemy of psychological transformation in the late stages of individuation"--
