Carl Gustav Jung
This balance is healthy and it prevents our psyches from becoming neurotically unbalanced. Opposition exists everywhere in the personality: between the persona and the shadow, between the persona and the anima, and between the shadow and the anima. The contest between the rational and irrational forces of the psyche never ceases. One's integrity of "self" can actually determine whether or not this opposition will cause a shattering of a personality (Heaney, 1994).
