SUMMARY

Mrs. Casement joined us from London, England to discuss her recent Fay Lecture Series, “Integrating Shadow: Authentic Being in the World.” She took us back to her time at the House of Lords and her relationships with Claude Lévi-Strauss, James Hillman, and Gerhard Adler, and more recently with Sonu Shamdasani and Wolfgang Giegerich. She delved into the three aspects of the shadow (personal, collective, and archetypal), Jung’s own shadow, and accusations of anti-Semitism. She updated us on her upcoming books, The Blazing Sublime and The Analyst’s Guide to Jung, and paid tribute to the late Jungian analyst Fr. John P. Dourley, Ph.D.
