ABSTRACT
The archetypes associated with this person's superior and inferior functions, which form the 'spine' of the diagram, and with their shadows. It concentrates on the pair of archetypes associated with the auxiliary and tertiary functions. The archetypes in these positions structure the person's orientation to one of the most basic activities involving human consciousness, the support and care of others. The strength, and the kind of strength, a function of consciousness displays is a consequence of the archetypal role associated with it, and archetypes are differently developed in different people. The child who experiences the disapproving parent can remain a part of them even as they grow into adulthood, and is the common basis of a traumatic neurosis that they have come to feel. Double binds are what people are put in by the trickster archetype so long as it remains unconscious, in which case one is vulnerable to being taken advantage of by others.
