ABSTRACT
The title of this book suggests the view that individuation, considered as process or end-product, is, for all its spontaneity, by no means free from hazard and potential damage. Furthermore, Jung’s descriptions of it are not without complications and unsolved questions. Thus, while most analysts tend to find their patients to be very individual people, unusual indeed, perhaps complicated, even outstanding, in ways that are striking or quiet or deeply hidden, this does not mean that they are necessarily thereby individuated in Jung’s sense of the term.
