This is defined as the achievement of a greater degree of consciousness with regard to individual psychological, interpersonal and cultural experiences ( What is analytical psychology?, IAAP). Individuation is the ultimate goal for a client who receives analytical psychotherapy.
An analytical psychologist focuses on the client’s role of symbolic experiences in life, including one’s life history that contains seeds for future growth and development. Analytical psychology/Jungian analysis was developed in the early 20th century by Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung.
