II: The Case Study of the Orphan
The Integration of Childhood and Adulthood
Over the lifespan of the host, the Agency of the Orphan is successfully integrated into identity through a concomitance of childhood and adulthood. This process is extremely gradual taking place over a series of stages.• Stage 1: Host is established through recognition of an Orphan character
• Stage 2: Mimetic Behavior Commence
• Stage 3: Cultivation of Character: Personalities, Proclivities & Age Range
• Stage 4: Host “grows up” Through mirroring Archetype
• Stage 5: Host “grows past” Archetype
• Stage 6: Regressive Individuation
It is at the sixth stage of regressive individuation that the host fully embodies the Agency of the Orphan. This stage can only take place once a person is acquainted with their child and adult selves; in other words, when the host is well into adulthood.
