ABSTRACT
This chapter opens with Jung’s commitment to the unconscious and the development of his structure of the psyche. A brief review of signs, symbols, and symbolic thinking is followed by the notion of circumambulation as a way to learn Jung’s model of the psyche. Mandalas are briefly considered. Jung’s terms that mark the map of the psyche from an analytical perspective are introduced. The basic concepts that make up Jung’s structure of the psyche will be considered from the perspective of the ego. Spontaneous images are used to illustrate key ideas and principles of analytical psychology.
