Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This chapter examines Jung's idea of the Shadow from the perspective of a "descent into hell" as it appears in the Red Book and in Jung's Black Book diaries. The confrontation with the Shadow emerges as a descent into the hell of self-knowledge and is described as an initiatory process, central to the idea of psychological transformation. The author links Jung's cosmological vision and man's place within it, with the philosophical, literary, and religious traditions on which it stands. She explores the implications of Jung's idea of individuation as it emerges through the Red Book, for the practice of analytical psychology.
