Psychological Types

Brief Overview

Carl Gustav Jung's book «Psychological Types» is an exploration of various personality types and their impact on behavior and perception of the world. Jung introduces the concepts of introversion and extraversion as primary directions of psychic energy, which determine how a person interacts with the surrounding world. He also describes four main psychological functions: thinking, feeling, intuition, and sensation, which, combined with introversion and extraversion, form eight distinct psychological types. Jung analyzes how these types manifest in different aspects of life, including art, religion, and philosophy, and how they influence interpersonal relationships and personal development. The book is a significant contribution to understanding individual differences and their role in psychology and psychotherapy.
