A Study in the Process of Individuation of Emily Dickinson’s Poetry Based on Analytical Psychology

This paper aims to investigate the process of the Individuation of Emily Dickinson’s Poetry through Jung’s Analytical Psychology. Amazingly, the developing process of Dickinson’s consciousness is similar to the progress of individuation of Jung’s Psychological theory. They both develop from Ego-recognition to Self-recognition. Dickinson redefines the negative complexities that arise from her environment in a creative way. The process of individuation toward the unity of consciousness and unconsciousness takes the opportunity of change at the point where pain occurs, and achieves the growth of personality by acquiring perfection through a series of processes. Growth is a task that must last a lifetime, and Dickinson’s self-exploration through poetry is a process of individuation that recognizes her own worth and calling and affirms life.
