Before you is the Russian-language edition of the set, which includes the deck of cards "Archetypes and Shadows," authored by American psychotherapist, Ph.D. Chuck Spezzano. He created this deck based on his 35 years of experience in counseling, teaching, and healing people.
"This book and the cards serve as a tool for psychological and spiritual development and self-realization. They are not a substitute for psychological or medical consultation or therapy, performed by professionals, if such is necessary or desirable. These cards are the result of my experience. Their purpose is to help you become aware of the shadows that hold back your development. The exercises provided have proven useful for many people over the years, and they will help you move forward, through the surrounding shadows and accept all the gifts that are hidden behind them. Despite my deepest respect for the Swiss psychologist and pioneer C.G. Jung, who initiated research into the world of shadows, I inevitably carved my own path. The discoveries I have made enrich the original research with a fresh perspective on a well-known topic. This is the result of decades spent "on the battlefield" with people and understanding what works for my clients time and again.", - Chuck Spezzano on the set ARCHETYPES AND SHADOWS.
Unlike other psychological decks, Spezzano's cards encompass practically all aspects of human life. In my opinion, the selection of archetypes, especially the shadow figures that are encountered rather rarely, is very interesting. The deck features quite original archetypes: "Shaman", "Mother Earth", "Santa Claus", "Nymph", "Tantrika". Among the shadow figures, it is interesting to note such as "Black Widow", "Fatty", "Idle", "Witch", "Drunkard", "Pig"… All cards without exception contain images of people.
The advantage of this deck is the ease of working with it. The description of each character is so extensive and substantial that for any single card one can simultaneously conduct both diagnosis and correction, achieving a positive psychotherapeutic effect and reducing working time.
With the help of the cards "Archetypes and Shadows", it is surprisingly easy to identify any shadow figure hiding in the unconscious. Usually, reaching the "Shadow" is one of the most challenging tasks of psychotherapy. Even more difficult is correcting it. But with this deck, it is easier and faster to do so.
It is time to learn about your shadow and remove it, so you can live consciously and happily.
