The Devouring Mother

Exploring the concept of the shadow in psychology, Simon Sheridan delves into its archetypal significance in understanding recent societal upheavals in the West, including the Trump and Brexit votes and the COVID-19 pandemic. He argues that the denial of the shadow leads to societal dysfunction, prompting a need for deeper self-awareness. Through this lens, the book seeks to uncover the psychological roots of contemporary issues, offering insights into the collective psyche and its implications for social dynamics.
