According to authors Connie Zweig and Steve Wolf, each of us has shadows that hold forbidden feelings such as shame, jealousy, greed, lust, and rage. Left to their own devices these shadows will become destructive saboteurs--causing us to betray our loved ones as well as ourselves. It is not within our power to choose whether or not to have these shadows; however, Zweig and Wolf believe that it is within our power to take responsibility for our shadows and put them to productive use. Chapter by chapter Zweig and Wolf reveal the shadow side of love, parenthood, siblings, friendships, midlife, and work. Rather than deny or destroy these shadows, the authors show readers how to confront and "romance" them in order to access the energy, vitality, and creativity that usually lie dormant within our dark sides.

Jungian therapists Zweig and Wolf examine the Shadowperhaps the most feared and least understood aspect of the psyche. The Shadow contains irrational desires and impulses, forbidden feelings, and even unchanneled creative urges. Rather than repress and vilify the Shadow as a demon, or treat it as an illness to be cured, the authors encourage the listener to embrace the Shadow as a mystery that can illuminate the hidden aspects of the self. Through case histories, the authors explore the manifestation of Shadow in all areas of life--work, family, friendship, love and mid-life concerns. Listeners interested in Jungian psychology will especially enjoy this challenging and eloquent work. C.S. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine--
