Description
This thesis explores the impact of the connected threads of shame, homophobia, and shadow on the psyche of males in Western society who live with homosexual attraction. Through the lens of depth psychology, the study incorporates a self-analysis with a focus on factors and influences affecting the ongoing development and adaptation of the persona. Specific historical and archetypal elements of male homosexuality are also included to broaden the perspective of the research. The study develops and presents a deeper understanding of the persona's complexity as a means and impetus to integrate and present more of one's whole self to the collective society. Using a heuristic research methodology, pertinent literature and observations are integrated with personal life experiences of the author to further his individuation and healing, while creating a finished work that provides some therapeutic benefits for others.
