In this paper we interviewed a psychic healer Mrs.A(60 years old, female) and viewed her cases which she has healed her clients for the purpose of that we want to illuminate the phenomenon of the psychic healings. In conclusion, it is relatively valid that we explain these cases using the concepts of analytical psychology. And we conclude following three ideas.①the psychic healings are practiced while she invokes the archetypes which are existed in the deep unconsciousness of the clients. Then she uses the archetypal image of “tomb” or “ancestors”. And “ritual” itself may be an archetype.②the first difference between the psychic healing and psychotherapy is that the former is that the healer instructs clients about the manners for solving their troubles but the latter is that the therapist respects the client’s independence. The second difference is that the former gives the specific myth but the latter tries to seek the individual myth. The common of both is that synchronicity happened when watcher who feels the special meaning of the incidents. ③Mrs. A’s intuition is, so to speak, “sympathy for the archetype.” This capability may need for psychotherapists. Lastly examinations of synchronicity is remained.
