Owning Your Own Shadow: Understanding the Dark Side of the Psyche by Robert A. Johnson (2013)
, 5 Oct 2014
I am a fan of Robert A. Johnson's work and writing, but this book feels like unfinished stuff, a hurried work, and lacks the practicality, depth, and polish of other of his books. This is not a book either, is more a booklet or essay.
The booklet feels a bit lousy and way below Johnson's talent and knowledge and I would read this book once you get a better idea what the concept of Jungian shadow is from other book. Then, this book will make sense and will be a nice addition.
Johnson
succeeds at showing what a group shadow is, but he does not succeed at
defining the shadow at a personal level. No step by step process to help
you to uncover you shadow/s. His definitions are not even that clear.
He recommends you, once you discover your shadow/s, to do a ritual to
incorporate it into your psyche, but he doesn't provide much information
on this either.
