Psychological Types: Attitudes and the Functions of Consciousness with Katerina Sarafidou

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 this process can be approached practically in everyday life and in analytic work. This seminar will explore the significance of psychological types in Jung’s work, and their role in individuation. It will begin with an overview of the two attitudes of introversion and extraversion before focusing on the four functions of consciousness, their role in a person’s psychic economy and in the therapeutic relationship.
