According to Jung, one's uniqueness and individuality comes from his or her natural development towards wholeness. Much of this development is seen through symbols of the unconscious. The use of mandalas as a creative tool allows these symbols to emerge. The anticipation of these symbols that appear from the unconscious to the conscious is that one will transition towards individuation. Jung stated that individuation is a harmonious unity of the personality with the Self. The purpose of this case study, my personal journey, is to uncover how mandala creations coincide with individuation. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Art Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. / Fall Semester, 2005. / November 7, 2005. / Case Study, Journey, Individuation, Mandala, Art Therapy, Individuate, Jung, Fincher / Includes bibliographical references. / Marcia Rosal, Professor Directing Thesis; David Gussak, Committee Member; Penelope Orr, Committee Member.
