Consulting
Have you ever noticed how one type’s compliment is another type’s insult? In this clip from The Silver Linings Playbook, an apparently disastrous blind date turns out to be surprisingly positive for an ENFP (Bradley Cooper) and an ESTP (Jennifer Lawrence), both of whom suffer from depression: First meeting of Tiffany and Pat.
Whereas problems differ from one individual to another, the polarities that give rise to them remain constant within any given type profile. Fortunately, the source of difficulty is also the seed of a new beginning.

Testimonials
“I came to Types with some piecemeal knowledge via Myers-Briggs from pop-psychology and workshops. I knew that the entire type was important and that there was a function “stack”. I thought we had access to all aspects of the personality, but some functioned more easily and others needed acknowledgement and work. However, I had not considered this in terms of degree of the conscious and the unconscious. Nor did I realize that there were attitudes applied to these functions. That each function had an introverted and extraverted attitude was a revelation to me, as was the fact this turned the “stack” into an eightfold path. It felt like my understanding of types finally began to flow in a dynamic way.” – Ellen Robinson (INFP), Pacifica doctoral candidate
“This course has unlocked and illuminated—or made conscious—a powerful dynamic that plays out within my own inner psychic landscape. Having this personal touchstone has helped to contextualize this material and bring it very much to life not only for me but for my work with my clients as well.” – Erika Raney (ISTP), Pacifica doctoral candidate and business coach
“After taking this course, I have been amazed how insufficiently the larger public (myself previously included) understands types, including a tendency to incorrectly type-match people and falsely stereotype the sixteen profiles.” – Amy Bucciarelli (INTJ), Pacifica doctoral candidate and art therapist
“Perhaps the biggest takeaway from this [experience] was the recognition, as well as internalization, of typology as not the claustrophobic categorization it is sometimes assumed to be. My understanding now is that typology is more like a roadmap for the soul or an individuation scavenger hunt.” – Elliott Morgan (ISTP), Pacifica doctoral candidate
“I so thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on Saturday as it is helping to ground the knowledge in practical clinical experience.” – Michelle Northrop (ENTJ), Northrop Psychotherapy
The book Projection and Personality Development via the Eight-Function Model applies Beebe’s model to the sixteen types, showing how each of the types tends to express or manifest the functions and their associated archetypes. Order from Amazon.
