PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPES

The theory of psychological types was Jung’s first formulation of the process of individuation in psychological language after completing the Red Book, and his first attempt to articulate how individuation can be approached practically in every day life and in analytic work. This seminar will examine the role of psychological types in the process of individuation, the rationale and basic principles of Jung’s theory of typology, and how such a theory fits into a contemporary understanding of analytical psychology.  It will also take a deeper look at the four functions, their meaning and their role in person’s psychic economy.
