Abstract

This article is dedicated to Jung's notion of the individuation process which is inseparable from his idea of Soul as a harmonious and dynamic wholeness of self. The individuation process pursues its own objectives and places specific demands on human being in a course of his or her life.

Ultimately it tries to integrate different components of soul - the complexes - into one organic unit. Individuation process manifest itself as spontaneous vital activity but generally it is very problematic and enigmatic phenomenon because it raises from confrontation between outside and inside influences of human Psyche.

This article puts emphasis also on Jung's notion of God-Man.
