This is undoubtedly true for the US and UK, but I wonder if it is accurate for the majority of Europe? France, in particular, have been very shy of the Anglo American camp for decades. I also wonder if Italy and Germany are quite so brain dead as we Anglo's are? For me, it's just a sense that they aren't - I have no evidence to back it
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
