She's the psychologist that started all the mandala stuff, with respect to the Jungian archetypal mind--the universality of certain imagery (including color itself) recurring through all cultures and all times. Joan's work had to do with the universality of the circular (actually spherical) shape with respect to specific personal characteristics etc. down to very accurate clinical identification of mental illnesses. Colors mean things generally universally, but in the case of diagnostics there are nuances, obviously. Mandalas can be read by the trained eye like a map. Everything placed within that circle contributes. Mandalas provide more direct access to much deeper regions of the psyche than mere verbal communication. Through the use of Mandala making Joan was able to help a lot of people. I studied with her in the early 70's. Look her up! What a wonderful topic. I'm so glad you brought it up!William Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286221149980028093noreply@blogger.com
