Wasn't it Nietzsche who first referred to the unconscious as the shadow?

Nietzsche may well have done so. It was Jung who said it has the layered construction of suppressed thoughts above the collective unconscious. Jung also, earlier in his career, referred to it as the "negative persona". --Darkchanter 05:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Nietzsche used the expression "the wild dogs (or hounds) in the basement. I would here have mentioned Dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde". OlavN 10:52, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
