Rezensionen

"This important text underlines one of the pillars of Jung's psychology: the idea of the Shadow. Submitting it to a precise theoretical analysis and its application in five clinical cases, Elena Caramazza identifies its extreme in an "Absolute Shadow" which can possess the personality, erasing its sense of limits, its relativity, hence the "reality principle" upon which our life relies. A book which reveals also deep philosophical and socio-political implications."

Luigi Zoia, Analytical Psychologist, Italy; Author of Paranoia - The Madness that Makes Histor

"Elena Caramazza's sophisticated and important book is a wide-ranging theoretical and clinical exploration that applies and expands Jung's idea of the shadow to a developmentally earlier and archaic level of psyche. An Absolute Shadow sits at the matrix of oppositions prior to differentiation and problematizes psyche's development. This unimaginable Dark Self is amplified by many literary, historical, cultural and mythic descriptions that enrich and extend our understanding of the shadow, making a valuable contribution to Jungian thought."
