More About Psychological Types
September 19, 1986 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm PDT
Jung’s seminal work on temperamental differences, Psychological Types (1921), introduced the idea that there are fundamental differences between individuals, differences that define the range of normal human functioning. Sixty-five years later, Jung’s terms “introversion”, “extroversion”, “thinking”, “feeling”, “sensation”, and “intuition” have become part of the international vocabulary for discussing human differences. Yet few people know how to use them with precision, and few understand how they belong to a scheme for the differentiation of consciousness within each individual. This lecture will attempt to make the archetype of differentiation implied by Jung’s theory of psychological types more explicit, so that individuals can apply it to their own inner and outer development.

He is the author of Integrity in Depth and Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type: The Reservoir of Consciousness. He is co-author, with Virginia Apperson, of The Presence of the Feminine in Film, and co-editor, with Ernst Falzeder, of The Question of Psychological Types. A Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, he has written about psychological types for numerous books and journals. Beebe’s eight-function, eight-archetype model of type is widely studied and applied in the field. In addition, he has spearheaded a Jungian typological approach to the analysis of film.
