John Beebe is a Jungian analyst in private practice in San Francisco. A former president of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, he is a prolific author and editor and has spoken on analytical psychology all over the world.
‘At last, the long awaited volume on Psychological Types by the
preeminent analyst-scholar of Jung's typology, John Beebe, MD. This
distillation of a lifetime's work by John Beebe is without parallel
in the study of types. Emerging out of numerous, stellar
presentations and publications, based on years of teaching, leading
workshops and seminars around the globe, Energies and Patterns in
Psychological Type: The Reservoir of Consciousness will richly
reward readers fortunate enough to have obtained a copy. Jung's
original vision is imagined forward into the fullness of a
systemic, archetypally based, theory of consciousness, which in
turn is complemented by diverse applications. Not only is model
amplified with a range of clinical example, but it is masterfully
applied to film, history and contemporary culture. If you wish to
understand the depth and importance of psychological typology, this
book is essential.’ - Joe Cambray, Ph.D., Provost Pacifica Graduate
Institute; Past-President of the IAAP‘For years now, John Beebe has
been clarifying and expanding Jung’s theory of type. In the
articles gathered for this book, ranging from the historical to the
practical, from the clinical to the social and political, he charts
typological processes in which different kinds of consciousness
spark and react in unexpected constellations moving towards
wholeness and integrity. His psychotherapeutic system is precise
and generous, his tone is firm and intelligently optimistic, and
his arguments are hard-edged and crystal clear. In the field of
Jungian typology, this is now the essential book.’ - Craig
Stephenson, author of Possession: Jung’s Comparative Anatomy of the
Psyche and Anteros: A Forgotten Myth‘This book should be required
reading for all who use psychological type. John’s rich coverage of
the historical and theoretical foundations and his powerful model
of how we use all eight function-attitudes provide a strong
foundation for using type well rather than with limiting
stereotypes. His approach helps unlock development and increase
well being. An added bonus comes in seeing the relevance of type
for larger social issues and John’s personal examples.’ - Linda V.
Berens, Ph.D., Typology Thought Leader, Author, and Organizational
Consultant, USA‘Beebe’s excellent latest book traces the history
and development of psychological type theory. Building on the work
of Jung, von Franz and Myers, he introduces his own innovative
model with its hierarchy of differentiation for the eight
function-attitudes, the first four being in consciousness and the
other four, shadow in attitude, largely unconscious. These eight
differentiate themselves in the course of personal development, and
Beebe has identified discrete archetypal figures that guide the way
they are expressed within an individual’s psyche. These he
illustrates with scenarios drawn from analysis of dreams and film
characters. A ‘must’ for your bookshelf!’ – Dr Gillian Clack,
editor of TypeFace, British Association for Psychological Type
