Abstract
This paper explores the problem of reification as manifested in the fields of art and depth psychology. By considering C. G. Jung's interpretive strategy and contrasting this with the archetypal tradition's focus on image, the author seeks to outline and expand upon some of the theoretical tensions thus implied. It is suggested that the notion of reification is directly related to Jung's concept of the shadow, and that the minimizing of ego dynamics within the archetypal tradition may expose certain aspects of this approach to question.
