Temporality, Shame, and the Problem of Evil in Jungian Psychology

In this unique work Murray Stein and Elena Caramazza share their rich and reflective conversations on several key themes through an exchange of letters, essays, and emails. This rich discussion, ignited by Stein's 2016 lecture on Wolfgang Pauli's The Piano Lesson, moves from the function of temporality to shame and the problem of evil, touching on the work of C. G. Jung, Raimon Panikkar, Erich Neumann and Marie-Louise von Franz. Stein's contributions detail how Pauli's contact with Jung inspired a thought experiment which attempted to merge quantum physics and depth psychology, and how Neumann and Jung compare on 'the problem of evil', while Caramazza shares clinical case studies and personal reflections to illustrate her points. The book concludes with a script inspired by Pauli, and an afterword which expands on the insights of the main text. Temporality, Shame, and the Problem of Evil in Jungian Psychologywill be of great interest to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas and to analytical psychologists in practice and in training.

This book explores Jung's central concept of shadow from a particular configuration that the author calls "Absolute Shadow," placing it in relation to the idea of destiny as catastrophic. Clinically based and supported by a vast number of therapy cases, the book exemplifies how the Absolute Shadow is a result of the projection of the most fragile and destructive parts of one's psyche. In some cases, it may cause loss of identity and, through the mechanisms of false/double personality, is bound to result in psychosis. Other aspects of the Shadow, like the intergenerational shadow, are also examined in depth. The Absolute Shadow is the well-informed result of Caramazza's fifty years of study and clinical experience. It is important reading for Jungian and depth psychologists, as well as for psychoanalytic students, trainees, and clinicians of all schools of thought.
