In 1915, C. G. Jung and his psychiatrist colleague, Hans
Schmid-Guisan, began a correspondence through which they hoped to
understand and codify fundamental individual differences of
attention and consciousness. Their ambitious dialogue, focused on
the opposition of extraversion and introversion, demonstrated the
difficulty of reaching a shared awareness of differences even as it
introduced concepts that would eventually enable Jung to create his
landmark 1921 statement of the theory of psychological types. That
theory, the basis of the widely used Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
and other similar personality assessment tools, continues to inform
not only personality psychology but also such diverse fields as
marriage and career counseling and human resource management.
This correspondence, available in English for the first time,
reveals Jung fielding keen theoretical challenges from one of his
most sensitive and perceptive colleagues. The new introduction by
Jungian analyst John Beebe and psychologist and historian Ernst
Falzeder clarifies the evolution of crucial concepts, while helpful
annotations shed light on the allusions and arguments in the
letters. This volume will provide a useful historical grounding for
all those who work with, or are interested in, Jungian psychology
and psychological typology.
