Analytical Psychology, developed by Carl Jung, explores the depths of the unconscious and emphasizes the importance of individuation—the process of integrating the conscious and unconscious aspects of The Self. This approach helps individuals uncover hidden patterns, symbols, and archetypes that influence their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

In Analytical Psychology, the Chimera can represent the integration of the shadow self—the darker, unconscious aspects of the psyche that are often repressed or denied. By acknowledging and integrating these aspects, individuals can achieve “individuation”, a process of becoming whole and balanced.
