Mapping Jungian Archetypes on Cognitive Processes

"John Beebe (1, 2) is a genius!" is a thought I had during the last months each time I pondered about Beebe's idea of mapping Jungian Archetypes on Cognitive Processes.

What follows is my very own summary of his proposed model to map Cognitive Processes on Jungian Archetypes that he explained in detail in a four day workshop (Big thanks to Type Resources for organizing this).

You may want to first read John Beebe's introduction to his model.

There are probably people out there who are more knowledgeable than me to write a summary, but there isn't much published yet, so I hope to make a start.

Besides John Beebe, there are quite some people I feel thankful to for sharing their thoughts with me which in one way or another influenced my summary (but who won't necessarily agree with all I am writing): Linda V. Berens (Please write more on Cognitive Dynamics!), Dario Nardi, Vicky Jo Warner, Robin Wiley.

UPDATE, as people found it confusing: A quote is referring to what someone with the function in that role might say.

UPDATE II: These notes are now also available as mind map.
