Abstract

Nise da Silveira was a reference in analytical psychology for basing her work on Jung’s references, who supported her work and invited her to exhibit works related to mental health in Brazil, in an exhibition in Zurich. The objective of this article is to analyze aspects of Nise da Silveira’s work and her contributions to analytical psychology. The methodology is the use of bibliographical research on some studies by Jung, Nise da Silveira, and other authors who dedicated themselves to understanding the theme. It is considered that the work with schizophrenics and the reading of images used in the Museum of Images of the Unconscious remain a legacy that is still in motion in analytical psychology as a source of research and study.
