Over time, everything in this world changes, including living organisms. In the process of life's vicissitudes, people change, the whole life of man - continuous development, beginning with the birth of the fetus in the perinatal period and ending with physical death.
Transformation of personality
Personality of a person also develops continuously, that is, there is a continuous transformation of a person's personality , changes in his psychology. It should be noted that the changes occurring with the human body and its personality are not too noticeable to observe, because it changes itself. In addition, the natural age changes that are "incorporated" into a certain "natural plan" of the development of the organism and leading it to a certain state at a certain point in life do not coincide with the periods of development of the personality. Therefore, people develop at different times and in different directions. There are, however, general age patterns.
Motivation of personal transformations and activities
The development of a person's personality occurs not only according to the natural "plan" of age development, personality, as well as the organism, develops, first of all, in activity. Human activities are caused by needs, goals and motivations, which are not the same in different situations and in different periods of development. Thus, we can talk about the motivational transformation of the personality that occurs with each person throughout his life. The body has vital needs, and the individual has personal needs (for example, needs for self-realization, recognition, respect, etc.)
In the analytical psychology of CG Jung (and other post-Kyung trends of modern depth psychology), under the transformation of personality it is accepted to understand not only the changes that occur with a person in the process of his individual development, but also the process and result of individual individuation. By individuation in this case is meant an independent conscious development and self-development of the individual, which does not always coincide with situational motives, as well as motives and goals of other people. In the process of individual transformation of personality, a person refuses from the original narcissism, the egoistic orientation of the personality, which in norm is one of the signs of certain phases of development, before the transition to the state of individuation - the true psychological adulthood and independence.
