Psychedelic substances provide direct and powerful access to this inner world. How, then, might Jungian psychology help us to better understand the nature of psychedelic experiences? And how might psychedelics assist the movement toward psychological transformation described by Jung?\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eJungian depth psychology and psychedelic psychotherapy are both concerned with coming to terms with unconscious drives, complexes, and symbolic images. Unaware of significant evidence for the safe clinical use of psychedelic drugs, Jung himself remained wary of psychedelics and staunchly opposed their therapeutic use. His bias has prevented Jungians from objectively considering the benefits as well as the risks of using psychedelics for psychological healing and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eConfrontation with the Unconscious\u003c\/em\u003e intertwines psychedelic research, personal accounts of psychedelic experiences, and C.
