Objectives: Humans experience the process of separating-individuating themselves from an object via the conflict between dependence and independence within the self. The separation-individuation theory focuses on the psychological process of individualizing oneself. Although adolescents' individuation from their parents is based on intrapsychic events, there is an increasing need for an intersubjective understanding of it. We applied intersubjectivity to adolescents and parents to interpret and find solutions for problems arising during their individuation process. Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed a case of a son and his father treated by the author. From the study subject, contents that represent adolescents and parents' interaction and separation in the individualization process were extracted and analyzed, and their experiences shared in this process were reconstructed from the therapist's perspective. Results: From the case involving an adolescent boy with conduct problems and his interactions with his father, the authors observed the phenomenon of intersubjectivity and proposed the concept of "synchronized individuation" between adolescents and parents. As adolescents rapidly grow and change, they experience various dynamic interactions with their parents. Through learning to tolerate the conflicts and ambivalent tension inherent in this individuation process, adolescents and their parents develop their new identity. Conclusion: "Synchronized individuation" should be understood as complementary to, rather than exclusive from, the existing concept of the separation and individuation. It offers a new paradigm with which to understand adolescent-parent conflicts in the process of separation-individuation.

Objectives: Among adolescent development tasks, being independent of parents is an essential process for emotional and physical separation. There are many conflicts of separation and individuation between parents and adolescents; however, most clinicians explore the process of separation and individuation only from adolescents' perspective. Whether simultaneously or sequentially, separation-individuation occurs between adolescents and parents, respectively. The authors have already introduced the theory of synchronized individuation in a clinical case to explain the concept of this intersubjective phenomena. This study also attempts to prove the synchronized individuation theory through the interaction of characters in a movie and a fairy tale. Methods: The authors present the basis for the theory of synchronized individuation of adolescence through the growing process of Mason Junior, the main character of the movie "Boyhood," and from the process of the separation of a hen, Sprout, and an orphaned duckling in "The hen who dreamed she could fly." Results: Synchronized individuation was developed and observed from Mason, the son's perspective in "Boyhood," and Sprout, the mother's subjective perspective in the story of the hen. Conclusion: Increasing conflict and mutual impact in the relationship between adolescents and parents, ambivalent feelings for separation, selective identification of each other, mutual respect through mutual recognition, and role changes in relationship position were confirmed. Sons and mothers were individualized with synchronization.

As a quality of dyadic relationships in the family, individuation refers to the interplay between the connectedness and separateness of family members. The aims of this study were: 1) to develop of the newly measure of Korean late adolescent's individuation; 2) to examine the reliability and validity of the newly developed measure. 435(165 male, 270 female) college students completed the Korean Late Adolescent Individuation Questionnare(KLAIQ), and Korean version of the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire(SACQ), and Korean version of the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire(SACQ). Using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis three subdimensions of individuation were identified: Connectedness(7items), Self-confidence(5 items), and Parent control(4 items). A total 16 items of the KLAIQ were found to have acceptable reliability and face and construct validity. A total 16 items of the KLAIQ were found to have acceptable reliability and face and construct validity. Scale scores from the KLAIQ correlated in the predicted pattern with the SACQ. Individuated students demonstrated the highest college adjustment scores while ambiguous students yielded the lowest. Therefore, it would appear that the KLAIQ can adequately measure individuation in Korean late adolescence.

Individuation and ego identity formation was studied in 297 university students in North Cholla Province. They completed the Korean Late Adolescent Individuation Questionnaire, and the revised version of the Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status. One-way ANOVA revealed differences in identity status as a function of individuation categories except in moratorium status. Individuated(??) students yielded the highest identity achievement scores and the lowest diffusion scores. Ambiguous students yielded the highest diffusion scores. Less individuated(??) students had the highest foreclosure scores while pseudo-autonomous students had the lowest foreclosure scores.

This study examined the relations between maternal parenting, mother-adolescent conflict, and adolescent individuation with a sample of 271 high school students (156 boys and 115 girls) living in Seoul. Data were analyzed by correlations and regressions. Maternal monitoring, reasoning and affection were positively related to connectedness and separateness, two subscales of adolescent individuation, and maternal over-expectation, intrusiveness, physical abuse and neglect were negatively related to connectedness and separateness. Mother-adolescent conflict was negatively related to connectedness and separateness. Maternal monitoring, reasoning and affection were negatively related to mother-adolescent conflict, and maternal over-expectation, intrusiveness, and physical abuse and neglect were positively related to mother-adolescent conflict. Mother-adolescent conflict played a mediating role between maternal parenting and adolescent individuation.

This research was carried out to examine the family system types and the separation-individuation procedures, which seriously affect the mental development of middle school students. The research analysed the rate of separation-individuation in each family system types, as well. The resets of this study are as follows: 1. The midrange family was 61.1% among the four family system types, recognized by the middle school students. 2. Most of the middle school students were suffering from the separation-individuation procedures. And the most afflicted hardship was the dependency denial, which was followed by the reject expectancy and self-centeredness. 3. The girl students were more deeply affected by the family system types than boyhood. Therefore girl students were much more intimate with family and made very stagnant progress on the separation-individuation procedures .

융의 발달이론에 따르면, 인생은 만 35에서 40세를 전후로 페르소나가 형성되어가는 전반기와 참자기를 찾아 나서게 되는 후반기의 두 단계로 나누어진다. 이러한 관점에서, 나는 발달적으로 개성화에 대한 고민을 하지 않을 수 없는 역치점에 서 있으며, 음악-중심 음악치료사라는 페르소나를 가지고 있는 한 인간으로서 나의 개성화 과정은 음악적 참자기와 음악 안에서의 자기실현을 찾아나서는 과정에서부터 시작되어야 한다고 생각하였다. 나는 이러한 과정을 음악적 개성화(musical individuation)라 명명하고자 하며, 음악적 성장과 변화가 곧 음악 외적 성장과 변화를 상징한다는 음악-중심 음악치료 철학의 기본전제를 바탕으로, 나는 내 자신의 음악적 개성화 과정이 곧 나의 음악 외적 개성화 과정을 대변하리라 믿는다. 이 글은 아직도 많은 여정이 남아있고, 어쩌면 참된 완성이 가능하지 않을 수도 있는 음악적 개성화 과정에 대한 나의 개인적 기록이며 진솔한 고백이다.

This study explored a sandplay therapy case of a woman maturing through conflicts with an adolescent son. The goal of the therapy was to relieve her from conflicts with going through individuation process under a free and protected space in sandplay therapy. Forty-six therapy sessions were held. The client exhibited that she needed a conversation with her feminity and maternity in the initial phase of therapy (1-5, regression). In the intermediate phase of therapy (6-43, struggle), she displayed the scenes of meeting of opposites, shadow, death, nurturing and integration of opposites. In the final phase of therapy (44-46, transformation), she showed the acception of her life with leaving her situations to God. Through sandplay therapy in the free and protected space, this study showed the effectiveness of sandplay therapy since the client achieved individuation by showing the acceptance of her life and could control her enraged feelings.

저자는 융의 개념을 중심으로 면밀하게 전이에 대한 분석심리학적 고찰을 한 후, 융이 '전이의 심리학'에서 앞부분을 인용한 연금술서인 '현자의 장미원' 전체에 대한 해석이 필요하다는 것을 제시하였었다. '현자의 장미원' 20개 목판화의 상징적 의미는 흑화, 백화, 황화, 적화 등의 연금술적 단계로 해석될 수 있었다. 이러한 단계적 변환의 과정은 개성화 과정으로 연결되며 정신치료의 과정과도 연관하여 볼 수 있었으며, 전이의 의미는 개성화 과정의 입문과정으로 설명될 수 있었다. 이러한 정신적 변환과 인간의 발달에 대하여 동양의 전통적 사상과도 비교하여 제시하여 보았다. 개성화 과정은 치료적 관계를 비롯한 인간관계의 발달과도 같이 발전해 나아가는 것으로 볼 수 있는데, 동양에서의 인간(人間)이라는 관념은 매우 함축적 의미가 있는 것으로 향후 이에 대한 깊은 연구가 필요하다.
