ABSTRACT
In his introductory chapter to ‘Psychological Types’ Jung defines the motive which inspires his work in these words:— ‘It is my hope that this insight may prove a clarifying contribution to a dilemma which, not in analytical psychology alone, but in other provinces of science and particularly in the personal relations of human beings to one another, has led to misunderstanding and divisions. For it explains how the existence of two distinct types is actually a fact which has long been known. Notwithstanding the diversity of formulations the common basis or fundamental idea shines constantly through, viz., in the one case an outward movement of interest towards the object and in the other a movement of interest away from the object towards the subject and his own psychological processes.’ 1
