JUNG PODCAST #11 JUNG'S THEORY OF TYPOLOGY part1 In this episode I introduce the fundamentals of Jung's theory of typology. I overview some of the issues pertaining to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and offer statements from Jung that caution us against viewing type as a rigid form of categorisation of people. The two attitudes – extraversion and introversion are explained using quotes from Jung, Beebe and Sharp. In order to understand Jung's idea that introversion is the withdrawal of libido from the object and extraversion is the investing of the object with libido I offer basic ideas from object relations theory and a critical quote from John Beebe who argues that libido is invested in or withdrawn from an archetypal image.
