Abstract

Mandala is one of Jung's most important archetypes associated with some numbers, geometric shapes and concepts, the most important of which is unity and the most prominent geometric shape of the circle that can be observed in art and literature. Kurdish. Child and adolescent storytellers have used mythological archives as a tool to enrich their stories. Mandala is one of the archetypes used in the stories of children and adolescents. Given that children's and adolescent writers tend to be mythical and need to be scientifically applied using this efficient tool, this paper has attempted a library-based approach with a descriptive-analytic approach. Examine Mandala in the stories of children and adolescents. For this purpose, Mandala is first briefly defined and then this type of archetype is analyzed in the stories of children and adolescents. Mandala appears to be expressed in the stories of children and adolescents in symbols such as time, moon, sun, cave, fountain, numbers, and circle.

2. A study of the function of Mandala in the story of a child and adolescent.
Research questions:
