BehaveNet® Clinical Capsule™:

Jungian psychoanalysis: shadow


An unconscious part of the personality containing characteristics and weaknesses which one's self-esteem will not permit one to recognize as one's own. It is generally the first layer of the unconscious to be encountered in psychological analysis and is personified in dreams by dark and dubious figures of the same sex as the dreamer.*
