Against the Tide: Repositioning the 8 Functions in Psychology—Richard Owen

October 7, 2022 @ 7:45 pm 8:45 pm Australia/Sydney

Since C.G. Jung first described his 8 types of mental processing over 100 years ago, they were at first neglected, then later taken up again and developed by type theorists and practitioners. However as Jung’s work was widely disregarded by mainstream psychology academia, there has been little reconciliation between type theory and areas such as cognitive psychology or modern consciousness studies. In this presentation Richard will share some ideas from his ongoing work on identifying analogous concepts relating to the 8 functions, in an effort towards reintegrating type and the mainstream.

AusAPT Time & Tide Conference

Practical Applications of Jung’s Theory and the Eight Mental Processes in a World of Remote Work

March 6, 2022 @ 10:00 am 12:00 pm Australia/Sydney

Presented by Cynthia S. Paris, President, The People Skills Group

Join us for a free two hour workshop with Cindy Paris in the first of our Sunday Series events in 2022.

As practitioners, we are learning more and more that the gold, the real power, of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, comes from the theory behind the instrument, Psychological Types. However, as practitioners, we are often challenged to teach and practically apply Jung’s Eight Functions (Mental Processes, Cognitive Processes) with teams and leaders when participants are used to thinking in terms of the 4-letters of Type and MBTI Preferences. This is especially true in a world where many teams are working remotely and there is a lot to achieve in a short time frame.

In this program, participants will learn how to introduce Jung’s theoretical framework and the mental processes through quick and easy techniques and exercises using our road tested and vetted tools for integrating the 8 Jungian Functions into applications. We will introduce how to adapt and facilitate these exercises (some of which are well-known and quite often used, like the Z-Problem solving model) with remote teams using Zoom breakout rooms and third-party applications.

Participants will walk away with handouts and fresh ideas for facilitating Psychological Types for effective teamwork and leadership development in our new, and often remote, world of work.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Join us from 9:45am AEDT/Sydney/Melbourne to network and settle in. Check your local time and note that whilst this is a Sunday series, it will be Saturday, the day before, for US and Canada. The session will be recorded and the link to watch the replay sent to those who register.
