The Absolute Shadow Destiny Fate And Intergenerational Processes In Analytical Psychology | Mental Health

This book explores Jung’s central concept of shadow from a particular configuration that the author calls Absolute Shadow placing it in relation to the idea of destiny as catastrophic. Clinically based and supported by a vast number of therapy cases the book exemplifies how the Absolute Shadow is a result of the projection of the most fragile and destructive parts of one’s psyche. In some cases it may cause loss of identity and through the mechanisms of false/double personality is bound to result in psychosis. Other aspects of the Shadow like the intergenerational shadow are also examined in depth. The Absolute Shadow is the well-informed result of Caramazza’s fifty years of study and clinical experience. It is important reading for Jungian and depth psychologists as well as for psychoanalytic students trainees and clinicians of all schools of thought. |The Absolute Shadow Destiny Fate and Intergenerational Processes in Analytical Psychology | Mental Health
