Abstract
This article presents a conceptual discourse based on archetypal Jungian psychology and discusses the emotional features of Athena archetype. Since the Athena type has been defined as one lacking emotions and as a perfectionist, the main issue about this archetype is how could emotions and failures be illustrated and explained in the Athena life span? In order to answer this question, this paper uses several practical counselling experiences and the author's sessions with volunteer cases. While providing a quick review of the principles and characteristics of Athena types, this paper will investigate the emotional stages in Athena's life. Finally, this review will study the shadow aspects of this archetype and discuss the apparent facets of the Athena type.In this work we clearly demonstrate what is considered to be analytical psychology rather than a critical judgment or lavish naming. In other words, the Athena type has a golden balance in life and this paper does not consider the conscious and best behavior of this type, but in fact, we discuss the shadow features and unconscious behavior of this archetype.
