Diagram of the Psyche

Abstract

This diagram provides a simple description of the foundation of Jung’s theory of personality, which contributed to Dora Kalff’s sandplay therapy. A cone is used to display the various aspects of the psyche and their relationship to each other. In addition to the diagram is the list of eleven definitions that help to describe these various aspects, including the: psyche, ego, unconscious, shadow, complex, anima/animus, collective unconscious, archetypes, persona, Self, and individuation.
