Objectives:
Carl Jung wrote Psychological Types or the Psychology of Individuation and published it in 1921. This presentation will consider the question of individuation and psychological type from the non-bi-polar perspective created by June Singer and Mary Loomis in the early 1980’s. Without either/or type concepts, personality functioning can be seen from a Jungian perspective in new ways. Instead of viewing a person as a psychological type, it is possible to talk about a person having type capacities. Instead of basing understanding of personality functioning solely on in-born traits, it is now possible to talk meaningfully about personality functioning as the result of in-born traits and the environment. Absent bi-polar assumptions, a Jungian approach to personality becomes at once more holistic and more readily understood in relation to the process of individuation.

Objectives:
This workshop will be application oriented. It will seek to bring type concepts into everyday life and reduce dependence on psychological inventories as the principle means of understanding how the individual functions. Using a non-either/or approach, emphasis will be placed on how the various type capacities are used in normal living. During the workshop, a variety of situations will be described. These situations and their descriptions will be created by workshop participants using a special framework that significantly demystifies how personality functioning can be related to situational requirements of everyday life. Exploring this relationship, personality functioning and situations, will open a number of ways to understand stress and issues related to individuation.
Immediately prior to Saturday’s workshop (9:30 a.m.), participants will have an opportunity to complete and score the Singer-Loomis Type Deployment Inventory (SLTDI). During the workshop, the results of the SL-TDI will provide a platform to explore how each person’s type capacities are typically expressed and consider how to exploit everyday situations as incremental opportunities for further individuation.
Drs. Elizabeth and Larry Kirkhart have worked together since 1979 doing management and organization development consulting. During this time, they have engaged in a wide variety of domestic and international assignments. Currently, they are building ways to support the use of the Singer-Loomis Type Deployment Inventory in clinical and organizational settings. This work has involved two major revisions of the Inventory, conducting research on its performance, developing applications to bridge the results of the Inventory to various settings, and providing qualification training for practitioners. They co-authored, with Dr. Sloane Dugan, “Executive Coaching: A Jungian Approach to Executive Development,” Proceedings of International Association for Jungian Studies Conference, London, 2006 (in press). They wrote “Team Work and the Shadow,” Organization Development Network. 1994 Conference, Proceedings. October 1992.
