Summary/Abstract: C.G. Jung introduced the idea of eternal and archetypal Mandala to psychology. He believed that the process rhythms of the approach and retreat of the Ego and the Self are written in the forms of Mandal, and that they guide human psychic life. The article presents the basic principles of psychological analysis of Mandala drawing: colour, number and shape analysis as well as the stages of the Great Round. It shows the therapeutic, diagnostic and above all — expressive value in the process of constructing young people’s own identity.
