In his analytical psychology, the Swiss psychiatrist Jung has proposed many examples of archetypes that can be useful criteria for measuring, reviewing, and analyzing the literary works in psychological critique. One of the most important and vital archetypes is the archetype of the "exemplary mother", which is a mental and universal image of human personality and individuality and it is manifested in both positive and negative forms. Simin Behbahani is one of the contemporary poets of Persian literature whose motherly exemplary works have been reflected in her poems. The present research, which has been done by analytical-descriptive method, seeks to discover the archeological exemplary manifestations of the mother in Simin Behbahani's poetic concepts and poetic structures and to identify their positive and negative manifestations in the light of mythological-psychological critique. The results show 60% reflection of the positive and 40% negative manifestations of the exemplary mother. She has an example in Simin's poetry; in the positive form, including respectively; frequency, plant identification, congenital, reproduction, enthusiasm and enthusiasm are the most common manifestations in the spring. In the negative aspect, the highest frequency is related to the negative seasons, death thinking, night, swamp, sterile ground.

The archetype in the collective human psyche motivates the performance of various actions in his spiritual mind. The present study seeks to find the connection between psychoanalysis and architecture, as the art is essence of human mind and psyche. Carl Gustav Jung, the inventor of the theory of analytical psychology and the developer of the theory of archetypes, considers architecture as the human psyche. He believes that all man-made phenomena have already imagined in the mind or psyche at first. The number of archetypes, as the main topic of this discussion, is a lot. This research focuses on the two archetypes of Anima and Animus; at first to find and collect the symbols of these archetypes in ethnic thoughts, rituals and beliefs and then to create their proper correspondences in the symbols of some of the most important components of traditional houses in the Central Plateau of Iran. The main elements are including entrance complex, central yard, porch, pool space, room, wind passage, basement, cold basement and others. The present research has been carried out with the content analysis approach in the qualitative paradigm by inductive and deductive methods. The results showed that there is a correspondence between the archetypal symbols of anima and animus and the spiritual themes embedded in the components of traditional houses. As the perfect human psyche has a two-dimensional nature, there is a balance between both feminine and masculine expressions in the whole supreme art of traditional house architecture.

Carl Gustav Jung believes that the unconscious soul of every human being consists of two masculine and feminine poles named Anima and Animus, respectively. The Anima archetype is the feminine half of every man's soul, and the animus archetype is the masculine half of every woman's soul, and the coordination and unity of these two halves of the soul results in a mental balance in human beings, and the domination of each of them over the other one, may result in some characteristics and mental features which research worthy in terms of social and cultural perspectives. The current article adopts a mythological approach to study the emergence of the Animus in the female characters of two Iranian plays by Bahram Beyzayi, named Parde-khane (The Inner side, 1993), and Nodbe (The Lament, 2006). In these two plays, Beyazyi portrays some female characters who have very active Animus feelings due to their specific social circumstances. The study of the origins and the social and cultural reflections of this active Animus in these women, reveals the mental effects caused by the social and cultural structures of their community, as well as the close interactions of these two in the lives of these women.

Mother Archetype is one of the most important archetypes in Carl Gustav Jung's theory manifested in literary works both as the character of a real mother or in the form of symbols that indicate maternal aspect. Epic is a work derived from the male-dominated society in which the heroic functions and masculine power grab the attentions always more than the women's presence and role. However, since most of the epic poems have a mythic infrastructure, archetypically, they reflect many of the mythological themes and symbols that have emerged unconsciously in the poem. Since human life, before the epic realization and the manifestation of the male heroes, has experienced a female dominated era with female eternal holiness (mothers and women), human subconsciousness is full of images and symbols indicating the female element of existence reflecting the epic texts as mother archetypal symbols. According to this perspective, there has been no research on the mother archetype manifestations in the national epic and most of the researchers only referred to the mother characters in these works whose role did not go beyond giving birth and training the epic heroes. that the current research focuses on the issue that although in the Persian epic works (Shahnameh and the following epic poems), the women and mothers do not generally play a decisive role, the vacuum of the presence of women and mothers as an inevitable part of the humans' existence has been seen in the epic works unconsciously in the form of archetypal images and symbols, such as water, springs, rain, wind, plants, mountains, caves, fire, etc. and the mother archetype has entered the realm of consciousness in the form of these symbols.

According to Jung, collective unconscious is the valuable reserve of the human being ancestor who shares their contents between different nations and cultures. The collective unconscious contains the most important and influential content, that a person may face in life. The mother archetype is one of the most prominent and influential contents of the collective unconscious which manifests itself in real, virtual and positive or negative forms. While referring to the nature of archetypal criticism, this study discusses mother archetype, then, its virtual manifestations, such as objects, animals and nature as well as its positive and negative aspects are examined in the book "culture of Kerman people". Then, its samples are extracted from the book and the frequency of their usage is shown. Research findings showed that the Kerman fictions are rich in terms of mother archetype and they correspond to Jung’s theories.
