The Book of Symbols combines original essays about particular symbols with representative images from all parts of the world and all eras of history. Texts and almost 800 full-color images come together to convey hidden dimensions of meaning. Each of the circa 350 essays examines a given symbol's psychic background, and how it evokes psychic processes and dynamics. Etymological roots, the play of opposites, paradox and shadow, the ways in which diverse cultures have engaged a symbolic image—all these factors are taken into consideration.

The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) is dedicated to the collection, description, and dissemination of archetypal images, with the aim to probe their universality as connections that unite the disparate factions of the human family. ARAS contains about 17,000 photographic images, each cross-indexed and accompanied by scholarly commentary.
