Abstract

Kavoshnameh
In Jung’s analytical psychology, psyche divides to three parts: conscious,
personal unconscious and collective unconscious ones. Collective
unconscious is not related to just one person, but, is common among all
people.
This collective unconscious is a source to study archetypes that have
been reached from ancient time. One of the archetypes, that has particular
dignity in school of analytical psychology of Jung, is “individualization”.
Development of this archetype cause
s perfection in psyche. And this
perfection happens when a person does not attend to conscious alone, but
travels to unconscious world and faces with unknown elements; and in
conclusion, makes peace between conscious and unconscious.

Nameh is one of the mythological and epical
story that in its third section, Bahman, arrives to psychological perfection
and “individualization”, with attention to his unconscious world. He passes
some stages to arrive at “individualization”. The prime
concern of the
present paper is to pay attention to this aspect, i.e. individualization.
