Each theory within these four classifications is attached to a theorist describing in depth the details to his or her theory. These theories of personality are 100 years in the making, and although the theories may conflict one another, each theory binds the four classifications into a single unit of personality theory.

A list appears in a great many courses on prejudice. Contact between groups reduces hostility, students learn, when four conditions are met. The page it comes from carries no list. Page 281 of The Nature of Prejudice carries two sentences, set as an indented block, the last thing in the chapter before the notes. They begin with an exclusion that quietly exempts the most prejudiced people in the room. The verb is may be reduced. Institutional support arrives as an amplifier, not a requirement. Between those two sentences and their reputation lies the whole of Gordon Allport. He spent forty ...

Most personality tests tell you what type you are. Carl Jung asked a deeper question: what part of you has been developed, and what part has been left in the dark? Carl Jung on Personality Types is a clear, accessible, and psychologically rich guide to Jung’s original theory of psychological types — the foundation beneath many modern personality systems. Long before personality tests became popular, Jung described the inner architecture of human difference: introversion and extraversion, the four functions of consciousness, and the eight function-attitudes that shape how people think, ...

Enlightenment!—You may spend your whole life seeking it, but never find it. You may never search for it or even know that it’s possible, but reach it by accident. And you may live out your life ignorant of its existence, and die having never discovered your highest potential for happiness, self-mastery, and creative brilliance. The enlightened psychologist Abraham Maslow was the first to scientifically describe the fully enlightened person—which he called the “self-actualizing person.” Building on Maslow’s work through careful biographical study of the lives of self-actualizing ...

Some ways of seeing the world begin as a wound. The Suture was written from that place. From the experience of carrying meaning too early, too quietly, and too alone. It speaks from inside the Ni personality, where impressions arrive before words and where inner life presses forward with a gravity that cannot be set aside. This book gives language to that gravity, drawing on Jungian typology and psychoanalytic thought while remaining anchored in what it actually feels like to live this way. Here, Ni is understood as something formed early, at the point where a child first encounters rupture...

What if everything orthodox psychology understands about selfhood is built on a critical epistemological illusion? In a challenge to Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, and Kohut, the architect of Self Psychology, this multidisciplinary research argues that the ego—therapy’s dogmatic mediator—is not the reality tester, but the delusion maker. The ego is a pathological artifact of mirroring. Grounded in the lived reality of Panmodal Aphantasia (absence of mental representations across all modalities), this book proves that the self emerges even without reflection, autopoietically—...

Esta teoría señala que los procesos inconscientes son elementos fundamentales del funcionamiento de la mente; pero, además Freud formuló, en base a éste y otros conceptos, un método terapéutico tendiente a curar numerosas patologías. Aunque muchos de los postulados del freudismo han sido cuestionados por sus seguidores posteriores sus principios generales y el corpus principal de la teoría psicoanalítica siguen siendo observadores tanto en la teorización, como en la investigación y en buena parte de la terapéutica clínica.
