Product Description
by James Graham Johnston (Author)
Jung's psychological types could be thought of as a compass useful for navigating personal growth to greater "wholeness." This detailed and intensive review of Jung's original model of psychological types discerns important new insights about the eight types, their structure and dynamics. Illustrated with biographies of well-known people, this book brings the eight types to life, while it analyses and explains their collaborative and oppositional dynamics in the process of unique personality development that Jung termed, individuation.
