Abstract
The inner world of the child is a community of archetypes potentially available for the child's healthy ego development. Many forces limit and prohibit their utility. Play therapy in the context of a hypnotic relationship can potentiate these archetypes into becoming “playful metaphors” for healing and strengthening ego development. In this article, the author describes her use of playful metaphors in her therapeutic work with two children and explores how metaphor in play therapy is able to connect the child with healing archetypal imagery.
