In this episode, the third and final part on Jung's typology, I cover the tricky issue of determining one's superior function. Also, we understand why Jung argued that the process of differentiation was vital to our individuation as it permits the development of a broader use of all of our typology, by making the four functions more conscious. The episode also deals with the role of the inferior function in our psyche, as a "portal" between the unconscious and consciousness through which we experience the Shadow, the Anima and the Animus (amongst others).

JUNG’S THEORY OF TYPOLOGY PART 2
In this episode I continue with an overview of the extraverted and introverted attitudes, as well as review the four functions in terms of the perceiving and judging functions. We also examine the superior and inferior functions in an attempt to understand how these are simply ways of dealing consciously with the world. As the inferior function is an attribute of the psyche that often trips us up, this is a critical aspect of our continued development of the fundamentals of Carl Jung’s Analytical Psychology. Examples are given to aid our understanding of these aspects of typology. |
