[Laura London @jungianLaura]

"The #shadow is the first personification to be met in an analysis of the #unconscious. It is the antithesis of the #conscious personality, embodying those characteristics, potentialities and attitudes that have been rejected or depreciated by the #ego. Furthermore, since there is no differentiation between contents in the unconscious, everything merging with everything else, the shadow on initial meeting carries the impact of the unconscious as a whole. Only after its encounter with the conscious ego does it begin to separate from other aspects of the unconscious and lose the feature of totality."

~Edward Edinger, M.D., Jungian analyst, Melville's Moby Dick, p. 32

When Jung once said that “a neurosis is an offended god,” he meant, metaphorically, that the neglect of a deep, instinctual energy ultimately revenges itself in our somatic discords, compulsions, addictions, or projections onto others.~James Hollis

“The co-opting process begins when a psychoanalytic concept is revised and reinvented: A researcher reframes some Freudian construct in the language of another discipline, emphasizing differences between the newly described concept and the one from which it was derived.” 1/

[Kemtrup @KemtrupTweets]

Here are some core principles of psychoanalytic psychotherapy that over time have become well supported empirically:

-Winnicott’s theory about the importance of a “good enough” maternal (parental) environment for overall psychological development:
