 Carl Gustav Jung ( )  Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology  Best known researchers in the field of dream analysis and symbolism  Was a practising physician, but also devoted time to philosophy, alchemy, astrology, sociology, literature and art  Jung created the notion of individuation, a psychological process of combining the opposites including the conscious with the unconscious while still maintaining their independence from one another, needed necessary for a person to become whole.  Individuation is the central concept of analytical psychology.  Also well known for his theory of archetype

 Shadow : a part of our unconscious mind,  Our negative impulses (weaknesses, animal instinct)  Our shortcomings are thought to be rooted in a universal, archetypal aspect of the human psyche: “Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well- meant intentions.”  To bring out our shadows in our conscious lives is to get to know them, confront them  According to Jung, the shadow, in being instinctive and irrational, is prone to projection: turning a personal inferiority into a perceived moral deficiency in someone else. If these projections are unacknowledged "The projection-making factor (the Shadow archetype) then has a free hand and can realize its object--if it has one--or bring about some other situation characteristic of its power." [  These projections cripple individuals by forming an ever thicker fog of illusion between the ego and the real world.  Jung also believed that we need the shadow to feed our creativity; it’s the inner rebel that pushes us to strike out ant let go of rules which can hinder

 I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.  The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow— Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India-rubber ball, And he sometimes gets so little that there’s none of him at all.  He hasn’t got a notion of how children ought to play, And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. He stays so close beside me, he’s a coward you can see; I’d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!  One morning, very early, before the sun was up, I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup; But my lazy little shadow, like an errant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.  How well do you know your shadow? When do you find opportunities to leave it home in bed?
