Summary:Likewise, [Birgit Wolz] uses Carl Jung's idea of "the shadow," a term identifying parts of ourselves we learn to repress or deny, to explain the therapeutic effectiveness of film. Through the years, Wolz explains, our shadow becomes deeply buried in our subconscious mind, sometimes causing us to behave in ways we don't understand. But Jung also believed that the shadow contains a wellspring of strength, power and creative energy. He believed that if we could access our shadow, we could live more fully.
