ROMANCING THE SHADOW

Jungian therapists Zweig and Wolf examine the Shadow--perhaps the most feared and least understood aspect of the psyche. The Shadow contains irrational desires and impulses, forbidden feelings, and even unchanneled creative urges. Rather than repress and vilify the Shadow as a demon, or treat it as an illness to be cured, the authors encourage the listener to embrace the Shadow as a mystery that can illuminate the hidden aspects of the self. Through case histories, the authors explore the manifestation of Shadow in all areas of life--work, family, friendship, love and mid-life concerns. Listeners interested in Jungian psychology will especially enjoy this challenging and eloquent work. C.S. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 01]
