Individuation

The individuation is, for Carl Gustav Jung, the Archétype of the Oneself which causes and instigates a process.

The individuation is a concept suitable for the Psychanalyse jungienne, named better analytical Psychologie. This concept cannot be meant (to have direction) that compared to the other concept within the framework of the theory worked out in analytical Psychologie.

The complexity of the psychoanalysis jungienne is due to the fact that all the psychic authorities are in close relations the ones with the others. To describe a concept separately gives of him a vision inevitably partial because not holding account neither of the dynamic relationship with the other authorities nor of the emsemble of the psychic system. All is bound, all is moving. in the psychoanalysis jungienne , Essentialis Collection, ED. Bernet-Danilot, April 2002

The individuation has of another goal only to release it to Oneself, on the one hand false envelopes of the persona, and on the other hand suggestive force of the unconscious images. in Dialectical of Ego and Unconscious , Carl Gustav Jung,

The individuation is characteristic of second half of the life: when the man established his place in the world a new requirement can be put forward with him: that to be really itself, to be what it is, all that it is, and only what it is.

Such a requirement is far from what some wanted to do: if, in this process, the individual feels sometimes in intimate bond with the universe, like a microcosm with the image of the macrocosm, it is there only one of the aspects of a complex process which passes by various stages of conscientisation, confrontation and integration of the contents of the Inconscient.

Jung described some of the principal stages of this process, according to the unconscious contents with which the individual has to make: the persona which represents the identification of the person with her role in the company, the shade which contains all that the person considers morally reprehensible, the Anima (for the men), or the Animus (for the women), which represent the female and male values respectively.

For Jung many unconscious conflicts at the origin of hoop nets nevrotic result from the difficulty of accepting this dynamics which comes to decentre the subject conscious of its usual position and of confronting it with shares of itself which it had the practice to be unaware of.
