Jung's Typology Then & Now:

Living Into Whole Type

For decades, Jung’s type theory has arguably enjoyed a popularity among the public-at-large even beyond the formulation of his archetypal hypothesis, his ideas on synchronicity, and his original and creative work on alchemy. For the adventuresome reader, Jung’s massive volume Psychological Types still remains a tour de force in the history of ideas.

Expanding on Jung’s foundational material, Angelo Spoto will introduce the model that he has cultivated and presented for over a decade, recently expanded upon in an essay for the special, centennial edition of the Journal of Analytical Psychology, devoted to Jung’s original publication of his typological volume (CW 6).

This new typological model is based on the idea of “whole type,” and utilizes and integrates a typological perspective on the archetypal Self for a deeper understanding of both the individual’s typology and the individuation process itself.

Included in the presentation will be an analysis of Jung’s own type, according to this new model.

The Structure & Dynamics of the Psyche

In this lecture, we will examine the structure and dynamics of the psyche, as Jung understood it, and highlight the distinctive, descriptive, and explanatory power of his model. We will see where Jung locates psychological problems, how they arise, capture and distort consciousness, trap us in endless and painful mental and emotional “loops,” and we will look at what goes into healing, from a Jungian perspective.

Persona

The Persona complex contains archetypal energy coming from the depths of the psyche that moves the personality out into the everyday world, to interface with the who and the what that is "out there" in our environment.

Ego

It is easy to dismiss the Ego as the villain in life or glorify it as the wonder of wonders. However, in Analytical Psychology, the Ego is neither sinner nor saint, or perhaps it is both.  The Ego, or ego complex, is the central structure in our conscious world.  It implicates issues of human growth and development, identity, agency, and will. Most commonly, it is the vehicle for how we experience both the inner and outer worlds and the locus of transformations for the personality through time. Most importantly, the Ego is linked to the archetypal Self, the God-image within, which increasingly is known to be both that source of transformation as well as the center and circumference of the psyche as a whole. This lecture puts a Jungian eye on the “I,” just one letter in the alphabet that nevertheless the alphabet cannot do without.
