JS 8817 - The Development of Personality


Jung thought of individuation as a "vocation," having archetypal roots, and saw it as a "calling" and expressed as a mythic drama. He also understood the consequences of both following and refusing that call. Through an in-depth study of Jung's essay on "The Development of Personality" (Vol. 17 of the CW), this course considers Jung's seminal idea of "individuation" in relation to the archetypal ideal of "personality." We will examine how personality develops in the context of Jung's psychological theory, as well as the influences that incline us towards or away from individuation in our own lives.
