Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type: The Reservoir of Consciousness by John Beebe

anitaashland's review against another edition

5.0

An exceptional book on personality typing and ranks right up there with Marie Louise von Franz and James Hillman's Lectures on Psychological Type as must reading. Beebe developed the eight function model and gives archetype names to the 8 functions. Your first function is the Hero/Heroine function, the second the parent function, and so on. We each have a shadow type, which is the same four functions of your main type but in the opposite orientation. So an INTJ's shadow type is ENTP, for example.

Much depth here and I will be revisiting my Kindle highlights of the book and the book itself as often as I revisit von Franz and Hillman.
