ABSTRACT
The ethics of individuation transcends the moral codex of the community, also every form of simple adherence to the archetypal powers, and all other forms of identification with collective voices, politics, rules, images, or religious convictions. By individuation of ethics, the author refers to the further incarnation of the archetypal idea of justice, a transcendent moral order, within the human community. The elaboration of ethics is a fully conscious undertaking, although its initial impetus and deepest grounding are unconscious and archetypal. Intuitions and dreams of justice precede codes and laws. Psychologically, ethics has now been taken hostage by an archetypal possession and has become a voice for the demonic god in charge of this realm. It took several decades until ethics caught up and elaborated detailed codes of conduct for therapists that took into account the nuances and subtleties of transference and counter transference, areas of psychological sensitivity and vulnerability that had not been considered before.
