inner development and of the growth of
the personality, which he termed the
"process of individuation." He described
a strong impulse from the unconscious to
guide the individual toward its most
complete uniqueness. This achievement
is a lifelong task of trial and error and
identifying and uniting contents of the
unconscious. It consists in an ever-
increasing self-knowledge and in
"becoming what you are."
