I Ching Images of Typology and Development

This book is at the confluence of two fast & growing currents: the I Ching, Chinese book of wisdom, & Psychological Type as defined by Jung & as measured by the MBTI or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (over 2 million MBTIs were administered last year alone). This book will appeal to afficionados in both areas, & may help open up new interests to both. Jung, father of Psychological Type, frequently used the I Ching in his therapeutic work. He pointed out that the I Ching's 64 symbols ("hexagrams") & text revealed the synchronicity or meaningful coincidence between the psychological world & the external world of man. Grant, a longtime user of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator & its 16 psychological types, wanted to incorporate also the four major archetypes, so was searching for a system of sixty-four that included the characteristics of polarity (opposites in dynamic tension) & archetypal wholeness, as representative of all the possibilities of human development. He found the I Ching. Grant, a psychotherapist in private practice in Texas, is consultant to corporations & universities, & well-known for his work relating psychological preferences to the religious pilgrimage, codependencyy & addiction issues.Grant, Richard is the author of 'I Ching Images of Typology and Development' with ISBN 9781878287267 and ISBN 1878287265.
