Owning Your Own Shadow
by Robert A. Johnson
The shadow in Jungian psychology is the unconscious dumping ground for undesirable characteristics of personality. "Owning" the shadow--accepting it as part of one's self--is seen as the first step toward wholeness. Using examples from history, mythology, and religion, Johnson offers a tour of the shadow, showing its origin and features, and demonstrating how and why it bursts into consciousness when least expected. How experience of romantic love may lead to awareness of both positive and negative aspects of the shadow, and how to integrate the shadow are revealed.
