Self-portraits are mirrors of the deep psyche, reflections of the states of the soul. When serially analyzed, as images of dreams, they reveal an ongoing process, a trodden path. Some of the roles experienced by the author –as observer of psychic processes, therapist of children in their playful activities, and grandmother of girls in a constant discovery–, are pictured here, emphasizing the search for the inner child as an important part of the creative maturity. Eager to be fulfilled, human kind goes through several steps and tasks that endorse the first and second halves of life. Recognizing and integrating the gains and losses of these stages is a necessary condition in the quest to know oneself.
