A Repertory Grid Measure of Mandalas

Abstract

Jung described mandalas as symbols of psychological wholeness. Mandalas are concentric geometrical structures that have been used as religious symbols in India since ancient times. Mandalas express a highly complex but logical set of relationships among their subparts. A repertory grid measure of mandala principles is described in this study. The relevance of this personal construct technique to Jung's theory of individuation is elaborated.
