Type vs. Archetype:
Conflict or Confluence?

John Beebe, M.D.

“The Role of Archetypes in the Theory
of Psychological Types”

Type theory teaches that the different “functions of consciousness” arrange themselves in different positions within our personality. Dr. Beebe has created a model in which each function position is associated with an archetype that governs it. Recognizing how typology expresses itself archetypally makes it easier for us to become conscious of our impact on others—as well as theirs upon us. Combining workshop and presentation, Dr. Beebe will illustrate how we use our psychological type in communications and interactions.

John Beebe, M.D. is a Jungian analyst who has pioneered an understanding of “psychological type.” Past president of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, and Founding Editor of the San Francisco Library Journal, Dr. Beebe has authored, edited and coauthored numerous books and articles, including “Psychological Types in Transference, Countertransference and the Therapeutic Interaction,” and “Understanding Consciousness Through the Theory of Psychological Type”—an eight-function, eight-archetype model of type theory—in Analytical Psychology, Cambray and Carter, eds.

“Typology and the Trickster:
The Hunger for Wholeness”

Jung evolved his ideas on typology in an attempt to understand and identify the differences in human personalities. His recognition of these diverse forces on the development of the personality of the individual can be critical in our search for wholeness. The Trickster archetype, present in cultures around the world, is driven by a hunger to include that which is excluded. We will explore the way these two dynamics—Typology and the Trickster—interact in individuals, relationships, and the creative process.

Allen D. Koehn, D. Min., MFT, is a Jungian Analyst in private practice and is a core faculty member of the Pacifica Graduate Institute in California. The former Executive Director of the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles, Dr. Koehn has taught and lectured nationally and internationally on Jungian themes including typology, relationships, and the archetype of the Trickster.

“Linking Our Preferences With Everyday Life”

In smaller group, workshop format, we will examine the implications and effects of type preference on time management, communication, parenting, managing/leading, career choice, preferred organization attributes, and teaching/learning styles. We will recognize how our preferences manifest themselves in our daily lives, recognize clues others provide about their “type,” and learn some practices for connecting and communicating with others whose preferences are different than our own.

“Separate and Not Equal:
Psychological Type and Archetypal Calling”

Archetypes that dominate our individual lives are connected to what Jung called complexes. On a collective level, our complexes lead to a pattern capable of linking our perceived strengths and talents to the needs of the community. This is one reason that types who share the same functional preferences can differ, sometimes considerably, in their expression of them; they’ve been called to live out different archetypal roles. Through presentation and workshop exercises, Ms. Benz (who was one of the first to focus on the interface of “Type and Archetype”) will clarify how functional preference differs from “archetypal calling.”

Lenore Thomson Bentz, M.Div., is the author of Personality Type: An Owner’s Manual—a groundbreaking and unique contribution to the field of psychological type. A psychoanalytic editor/ghostwriter for the past thirty years, she has an M.Div. in Psychiatry and Religion from Union Theological Seminary in New York.

Ashok Bedi, M.D.

“Kundalini Yoga—Eastern and Western
Archetypal/Typological Perspective”

Yoga is a practice that fuses body, mind and Spirit. In the Indian tradition, Yoga introverts consciousness into the unconscious and creates a change in personality for the psyche. In the West, consciousness has been historically less accessible. Areas of conflict and confl uence of Yoga for the Eastern and the Western Psyche will be explored as Dr. Bedi illustrates the basic tenants of Yoga, including its typological rendering. To illustrate the workings of Kundalini Yoga especially, clinical examples will be provided.
