ABSTRACT

The theory of psychological types, by bringing into awareness the weak side of the personality, the side in the grip of the unconscious, leads directly to the central purpose in the experiment in depth: how consciousness and the unconscious can be enabled to work together. Jung’s constructive technique is designed to this end. It consists essentially in developing certain latent faculties—the inward eye, the inward ear, the inward understanding—enabling a man to become increasingly aware of what is happening the other side of consciousness.
