Psychoanalysis and Social Critique

The paper discusses the theory of psychological types (Jungian Psychological Types Theory), developed by the Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. Original interpretations of Jung’s theory were given in the works of American researchers Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, as well as the Soviet researcher from Lithuania Aushra Augustinavichiute, in which Jung’s initial ideas gained their conceptual development. The concept of Briggs and Briggs Myers, as well as the concept of Aushra Augustinavichiute, are two directions that can be conditionally called the “western” branch of the Jungian. The “eastern” branch is represented by the concept of Aushra Augustinavichiute, within which a cybernetic model of the psychological type (model A) has been created, the theory of intertype relations has been developed, and the terminological apparatus of Jung’s theory has been partially updated. Scientists of Moscow International University on the basis of the Department of Psychology and the “Laboratory of Cognitive Research of Consciousness” have developed new typological conception, within which a new terminological apparatus and a new way of representing and describing a psychological type have been elaborated. Our concept allows accelerating the further development of Jungian Psychological Types Theory in the 21st century.
