Masculinity Without Jung's Shadow

Is there a masculinity crisis in the West? How do men respond to it?

In this video, Previn Karian looks at three responses to the mental health and existential crisis in the West that is appearing on the edges of our public awareness and is spilling out into our social media debates focused on heterosexual masculinity. All three responses attempt to find positive solutions that reject or avoid any psychology of the shadow formulated by Carl Jung, discussed in the previous video.

The three models to solve the masculinity crisis are: the military model (be tough), the socio-economic model (be successful), and a cognitive-spiritual model (rational thought and meditation). Each solution has popular representations in violent sports such as MMA or Andrew Tate/Conor McGregor, and proponents of success and meditation such as Scott Galloway and Alok Kanojia (Dr K). None of these models discuss the shadow side of masculinity and masculine psychology.

Previn then introduces the shadow into each model to give a more psychologically accurate diagnosis of the problem of heterosexual male psychology. This prepares the ground for the following videos that apply shadow psychology from psychoanalysis to the problem of masculinity.
