'Connie Zweig, Ph.D., and Steve Wolf, Ph.D., innovators in the use of shadow-work in psychotherapy, have helped hundreds of clients in their encounters with the dark side. Seeing it-- meeting the shadow-- is a first step. Learning to live with it--romancing the shadow-- is a lifelong challenge...With shadow-work, we cultivate a deeper self-knowledge and authenticity... The authors weave together the rich perspectives of Carl Jung and James Hillman, timeless Greek myths, and universal archetypal images with insightful contemporary stories from their clients' lives. They show that the shadow is not an error or a flaw; it is part of the natural order of who we are.'
