‘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
