Dr. Joseph Polimeni gave a good lecture on this topic. Visually, it was well edited and enjoyable to watch.

Remembering Jung’s insistence that individuation looks like mental illness, I thought it made sense, and is relevant to the material I’m reading right now in Jung, Vol. 3, The Psychogenesis of Mental Disease.
