9780981670805: Using Beauty and Her Beast to Introduce the Human Shadow

Synopsis

The human shadow is a scary subject. So scary, Carl Jung thought failure to deal with shadow material would lead to the extinction of the human race. So scary, most people like to pretend they don't have one. But armed with gorgeous illustrations by fantasy artist Bob Hobbs, author Kay Newell Plumb fearlessly takes the human shadow on in Using Beauty and Her Beast to Introduce the Human Shadow. She creates a one-of-a-kind book that is a mix between a fairy tale, a graphic novel, and a serious psychological subject. Plumb hopes to promote a better understanding of the concept of the human shadow with this book.
