Abstract

This reflection piece briefly describes Edinger’s conceptualization of the relationship between the human ego and the archetypal psyche as described by C. G. Jung. Edinger posits that a conceptual link, which he names the ego-Self axis, provides the conscious ego a means of reconciliation with the archetypal Self for both its inflated state as well as its alienated state. Edinger’s amplification of his concept and its ramifications, particularly for the Sandplay Therapist, are reflected on.
