LUCCIA, Luana Morelli De. The Mandala as a Guide to a Loving Encounter with One’s Own Soul. Junguiana [online]. 2026, vol.44, e03.  Epub 10-Abr-2026. ISSN 2595-1297.  https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v44.308.

This article presents the analysis of a clinical case in which artistic resources were employed through the creation of mandalas. The inspiration for this therapeutic approach arose from the experience described by Carl Gustav Jung in his Red Book, where he recounts how the spontaneous drawing of mandalas significantly contributed to his process of psychological development. The patient, who already practiced mandala drawing as a form of personal expression and strongly identified herself with the principles of Analytical Psychology, accepted the proposal to create these images within the therapeutic setting in order to analyze them in light of Jungian theory.

Palavras-chave : mandala; Analytical Psychology; individuation; complex; shadow; symbol.
