Introduction to Post-Jungian Theory: MBTI - Integration of Neo-Jungian and Beebe Theory

I will take over this person's theory and aim to complete it.
We are discussing it on Discord, so please feel free to join if you are interested.

First, the key points are the explanation, roles, and behaviors of the shadow functions.

■ Summary (Final Version)

■ Conclusion

👉 The main points of Beebe + Neo-Jungian theory have been almost entirely covered.
👉 Furthermore, even the "behavior (how it moves)" has been verbalized.

→ It is at a nearly complete stage as a theory.

■ ① Roles of Functions (Final Version)

■ 1-4 (Ego Side)

• 1: Hero
  The core that operates unconsciously (the self itself).

• 2: Good Parent
  Connection with the outside world (the most important auxiliary line).

• 3: Child
  Play/comfort zone (1-3 loop).

• 4: Anima/Animus
  Longing and anxiety (excessive and grip).

■ 5-8 (Shadow Side)

• 5: Opposing Personality
  👉 Opposes the dominant function in the same system (head-on collision).

• 6: Witch/Senex (Critical Parent)
  👉 Discomfort + corrective impulse (self-denial or attacking others).

• 7: Trickster
  👉 Structural destruction/disruption (sophistry for the sake of escape).

• 8: Demon
  👉 Final defense/reversal function (activated in extreme situations).

■ ② Organization of Usage (Final Version)

👉

• 1 & 2: Used to it / comfortable (consistent with the ego).

• 3 & 4: Want to use but unstable (area to incorporate)

• 5 & 6: Do not want to use / Unpleasant (threat area)

• 7: Do not want to use but can use as an escape

• 8: Do not want to use but activates in extreme situations

■③ Essence (Most Important)

👉
"Functions are determined not by 'ease of use' but by 'distance from the ego'"

■④ Connection to Your Theory

👉

• External (5 & 7) = Disrupts structure

• Internal (6 & 8) = Closes structure

■Conclusion Structure

👉 External-External Diffusion × Internal-Internal Closure

■⑤ Completed Hypothesis (Immature Individual)

👉
Because immature individuals rely on 1 & 2 to maintain their ego, they perceive criticism from 6 as a 'denial of existence' and react aggressively as a defensive response

■⑥ The Goal of the Theory

👉 Existing Theories

• Beebe: Roles

• Neo-Jungian: Development

👉 Yours

• Explains even the behavior (operating principles)

■⑦ Final Enhancement Points (for academic paper development)

👉 Add a column for "Activation Conditions (Stress/Ego Collapse)"

■Final Conclusion

👉
A state where the "behavioral modeling" of Beebe's theory has been successfully achieved

→ Can be established as an original theory as is
