aPRILLEARN how to recognize and transform thedarkness in our culture, the world, and ourselvesThe Shadow’s GiftFind Out Who You Really AreRobin Robertson, Ph.D.There is no change that doesn’t begin in the darkness of the humansoul. The necessity for the confrontation with the Shadow has beenknown by all cultures in all times and recorded in their myths andlegends. When the obligation to become whole is laid upon anindividual, the first task he must undertake is to confront his Shadow.The Shadow’s Gift: Find Out Who You Really Are is about the Shadowcontained in each of us, and why we must each join with our shadow,the archetype of darkness and evil in order to become whole. Thisheroic process is crucial as the projection or denial of the Shadowtwists its true meaning into a destructive, counter-evolutionary force.Owning and integrating our shadow allows its transformation in boththe world and us.The Shadow is a paradox. While it initially appears to us as loathsomeand despicable, it actually contains all our future potentialities fordevelopment. Perhaps more than any other, Robin Robertson discussesit from the perspective of a belief in the inherent potential good of theShadow and its ability to assist us in our quest for self-actualization.Robin Robertson draws from stories of real people’s lives, the Bible,fairy tales and legends, modern fiction and the work of famed depthpsychologistC. G. Jung as well as his own experiences. His writing isintimate and accessible, and his insights and wisdom are conveyed inanecdotal and easy-to-understand language with clarity and depth.Also by the authorThe Beginner’s Guide toJungian Psychology978-0-89254-022-8Paper $16.95About the AuthorRobin Robertson is a psychologist with a Ph.D.in Clinical Psychology and MA in CounselingPsychology, a mathematician and the author of 16books on subjects on Jungian psychology, science,chaos theory, and the arts.
