Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type

Disciplines:
psychology
jungian analysis

Summary

John Beebe's most comprehensive presentation of his eight-function archetypal model of psychological types — connecting Jungian typology with archetypal theory.

Core Contribution

The Beebe model fully developed: each of the eight cognitive functions (hero, good parent/auxiliary, puer, anima/animus, opposing personality, senex/witch, trickster, daemon) occupies an archetypal position in the psyche. This transforms MBTI type dynamics from a functional hierarchy into an archetypal dramatis personae. The most sophisticated integration of Jungian typology with depth psychology.
