Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: The Interplay Between Persona and Shadow
This program explores the interplay between persona and shadow as exemplified by the split characters of Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde within one person as depicted in the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Dr. Demuth also delves into the effect of both persona and shadow on an under-developed ego. Jung felt that this work was essential before doing the deeper work of individuation.
In addition, this program touches upon two novel concepts: Dark Adaptation—how a person gets habituated and comfortable in doing the bidding of his shadow; and Psychological Allergies—the complement to physical allergies that have a psychological origin rather than a physiological one.
It was recorded on March 5, 2021.
