Just as there is sunshine and shadows, there is a bright side to our life, and there must be a dark side. The bright side allows us to get everything we want, allows us to show the charm of personality, but the dark side pulls us into the abyss, makes us miserable, and leads us to a tragic life.
This is the basis for the theory of shadows that the master of psychoanalysis Carl Jung gave us. In fact, he is very easy to understand, but he has been ignored. And now that psychologists have brought it up, of course, it will provide us with more evidence, and provide us with corresponding solutions to the shadows, so that we can come out of our predicament again and meet a better life. And according to Jung's theory, this is indeed possible, that is, to accept the shadow as a part of our lives, to give it reasonable care, so that it no longer bothers us.
Verena · Karst, Professor of Psychology at the University of Zurich, renowned psychologist in Switzerland, tutor at the Jung Institute for Psychology in Zurich, has been engaged in psychoanalysis for more than 50 years. As a Jungian psychologist, she certainly has a clearer understanding of shadow theory, and she shares Jung's shadow theory and coping strategies in detail with such a classic book "Personality Shadow: Recognizing and Accepting the Hidden Self". This book has been published for more than 20 years and has been selling for a long time, so it must have its unique advantages.
When we open this book, we find that it is extremely easy to read, completely different from other psychological works, there is no obscurity, the author is in the form of vernacular to introduce us to the application of Jung's shadow theory in our reality, the author uses a variety of cases from literature and drama and the author's personal experience, take us to see how the shadow theory has an impact on individuals, so that we can really see that people have a bright side, there is also a dark side, And people with this two-sided personality are not a minority, but a collective phenomenon among our people.
Then the author analyzes for us why there is a shadow part of the heart in our crowd. What is the form of the shadows? It also discusses for us the concept of collective shadow, and discusses for us what kind of thinking related to shadow theory is presented in our myths, fairy tales, and other related thought carriers, so that we can see how our thinking is truly presented to the world in another way. Therefore, Jung's theory also tells us that through the analysis of myths, fairy tales and other literary genres that are closest to our lives, we will see the most real side of our lives.
Of course, an important part of this book is to sort out for us the coping strategies about shadows, that is, the acceptance of shadows. The author provides us with a model of shadow acceptance, provides us with the difficulties that shadow acceptance may encounter, reveals for us how shadow affects life and how to eliminate these influences, etc., so that we can deal with our lives more effectively based on the shadow theory, so that we can take us to the highlight of life through the theory of Jungian psychology and the theory of personality shadow. #人格阴影##荣格心理学##阴影理论#
