Inner self, in Jungian philosophy (5)

I believe the answer is:

anima

(Other definitions for anima that I've seen before include "Female part of the psyche" , "Witty remark" , "Part of the male personality" , "Inner personality (psychol.)" , "Showing true inner self" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
