[Main Blog Post] [Book] Transforming Darkness

[jprussell]

This week, after the possibly synchronicity of folks asking about working with Jung's concept of the Shadow on JMG's Magic Monday right after having read an excerpt of a book on the Shadow, I decided to give it a read. It's called Transforming Darkness, and I found it interesting and helpful, though if you've read much on the subject or done much of such work, you might not find much new here.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts here or through email.

A good point. The hosts have said that often those drawn to Jung and according to their system, believe they have a Jungian pathology, have an Adlerian pathology instead, which in this context would mean there's a lot of folks interested in Jung purely for the sense of superiority they feel from understanding him. (Or thinking they understand him.)

Huh, that's an interesting hypothesis, and seems plausible at least on a first pass.
