Abstract
This article provides a philosophical explanation of how personality is generated and then altered by society and traumatic experiences. However, the focus of the discussion is on traumatization and its remedy under the philosophical theory by comparing it with the theories of Freud and Jung. In brief, the philosophical theory that is elaborated in this article is the principle of personalization. This principle egress with Freud and Jung regarding the causes of traumatization. However, it presents a different point of view related to how traumatic neurosis determines human actions and perspectives. Personalization stated that traumatic neurosis affected the person within their conscious memory, not the unconscious mind as Freud and Jung perceived it. Thus, this article intended to introduce the personalization method to psychologists and psychiatrists. Of course, it can also be read by those concerned with the development of philosophy of mind discourses.
