GIMENEZ, Patrícia Dias. Images of coniunctio in sandplay: when Eros and Psyche play in the sand. Junguiana [online]. 2024, vol.42, e09.  Epub 27-Ene-2025. ISSN 2595-1297.  https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v42.109.

The alchemical image of coniunctio – the union between opposites – is what inspires this reflection. The alchemical treatise Rosarium Philosophorum is a sequence of images in which the theme of coniunctio is central and was an important spark for Jung when he investigated the issue of transference in the analytical process. As a way of immersion in the theme of coniunctio and the transference relationship, images embroidered by the author illustrate the present work, together with sandplay images that have the theme of coniunctio as inspiration. The theme of encounter is central to the story of Eros and Psyche by Apuleius. It is also present in dreams and in many images created in the sandplay sands. Through the journey of the psyche/Psyche described in the story, the images in the sand and the embroidered alchemical representations, we seek a more sensitive language to delve deeper into the transference issue in the analysis processes with sandplay.

Palabras llave : analytical psychology; coniunctio; transfer; sandplay; Eros and Psyche.
