“…Currently though, few papers report on the use of mandalas as a research method within health care research. Of those available, many have strong Jungian elements and focus primarily on art therapy and psychotherapeutic studies (Ireland & Brekke, 1980;Mussell & Cumberland, 1987;Stuckey & Nobel, 2010). This is consistent with utilising mandalas as a technique for emotional disorders work to elicit information from people about their internal and unconscious world views.…”

Depression is a complex problem, commonly but not always successfully managed in primary care. We know relatively little about the system of primary care for depression particularly at the level of organisations. In this paper, we describe the use of mandalas as a visual data collection method within an in-depth programme of participatory action research undertaken in six primary care organisations in Victoria, Australia. We draw on mandala images, selected and discussed by 49 multidisciplinary primary health care professionals and demonstrate how they can be employed as an effective graphic elicitation method. We conclude that mandalas offer an innovative approach for qualitative data collection for two reasons. First, they can engage busy research participants in a reflective space. Second, using the mandalas as an elicitation method generates meaningful data: it provides new insights, reveals unrecognised aspects of practice, generates new learning, gives physical form to tacit processes and enables complex information to become accessible; all within short timeframes.
