SHADOW WORK
SHADOW Book’s I should start by saying that I am not a mental health professional. Although shadow workbooks might be useful for learning about mental health in general, if you are going through a mental health crisis, you should always get professional treatment. Anybody in the United States may contact the Drug Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s 24-hour hotline by calling 988.
Just what is book of shadows? Recently, the phrase has gained use as a means to describe a person’s “dark” side. Yet, the duality of light/dark has positive/negative implications, and there is a growing conviction that since we contain multitudes, we may enjoy both our persona, or the side we display to others, and our shadow selves. Carl Jung initially introduced the idea of the shadow self in the early 1900s as a critique of Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic beliefs. I suggest reading Medical News Today’s article “what is a book of shadows” for a more comprehensive understanding.
We now use phrases like extrovert, introvert, complex (as in “this patient has a complex about X”), and collective unconscious thanks to Jung’s development of the science of analytical psychology.
This is a collection of books regarding how to make a book of shadows that I’ve compiled. To the best of my knowledge and investigation, all of the books included below were authored by qualified mental health practitioners. Remember, take everything we’ve said with a grain of salt, and if you have any questions about how it could relate to you, please seek the advice of a mental health expert.
C. G. Jung’s PSYCHOLOGY OF THE UNCONSCIOUS
Let’s start from the very beginning/a very nice place to start, Julie Andrews sings in the song. Published in 1912, Jung’s ground-breaking book was followed by a number of additional publications until his passing in 1961. It sets the groundwork for analytical psychiatry, which serves as the cornerstone for the majority of current psychiatric procedures.
Robert A. Johnson’s OWNING Your Own Shadow: Understanding Psychology’s Dark Side
Johnson is often cited as the one who connects Jung’s ideas to modern culture. Early in the 1950s, he studied under Jung, collaborated with Künkel, another prominent figure in analytical psychiatry, and used both Western and Eastern techniques. This is his ground-breaking publication on the topic of shadow work.

DAVID L. ENG and SHINHEE HAN’s RACIAL MELANCHOLIA, RACIAL DISSOCIATION: ON THE SOCIAL AND PSYCHIC LIVES OF ASIAN AMERICANS
Racial Melancholia, Race Dissociation, although not specifically a book on shadow work, explores the Asian American experience through the prism of the “model minority” concept and explains why therapy is so difficult for Asian Americans to both obtain and apply to their life. I suggest Amy R. Wong’s “Making Counseling Work for Asian Americans” for a thorough analysis.
JENNY T. WANG, PhD, is the author of “PERMISSION TO RETURN HOME: RECLAIMING MENTAL HEALTH AS ASIAN AMERICANS.”
This piece, which examines the reckoning that Asian Americans are going through over racial and cultural identity, incorporates Wang’s own experiences as a Taiwanese American. Again, this isn’t specifically about shadow work, but one can see how it pertains given that the Asian American persona is only permitted to express a limited range of emotions compared to other cultures, which might make it harder to interact with one’s shadow self.
A growing interest in leading a completely integrated and contented life has emerged in recent years. We may do this by working with our shadow selves, and I hope that this collection of literature on shadow work will give you a solid place to start.” for a more comprehensive understanding.
