Introduction - Lloyd Nick. Mandalas of the Picture Archives of the C.G. Jung Institute Zurich, Kusnacht - Vicente L. de Moura, Curator. The great round - James Hollis. What are mandalas doing in therapy? - Jutta von Buchholtz. Mandalas and uncenteredness - William Willeford
Abstract: 'The centering that mandalas seem to depict surely reflects a persistent tendency of the human mind. The centering may lead to error, and the results of centering even when carefully executed may in the long term dissolve in the void with all things mortal. But centering is something we try to do; we need to try circumspectly, and many mandalas strongly evoke an imaginative world in which we might be successful in our attempts.' --p. 63
