ABSTRACT
The universe of meaning to which the symbol of the labyrinth refers seems to have a common denominator in Possibility. The concept of Possibility, expressed through the image of the labyrinth, should be taken as an absolute value, so to speak, by extracting the concept, removing it from the physical image. In light of the references to the possibility of perishing or escaping, to the death–rebirth process, to renewal, it is likely that the labyrinth is an image originating from a “pre-disposal” of this kind, which could justifiably be called “an archetype of Possibility”. Much more commonly, the archetype of Possibility may manifest itself in dreams, images, fantasies, or while playing in an ever-changing multitude of situations in which the topic of “possibility” can be seen and linked to the specific journey of the patient in therapy. The concept of the archetype and related aspects of the collective unconscious are among the most controversial legacies of the Jungian theory.
