Course Description: 

This 6-part series builds on the “Type Workout” program and focuses on Dr. Beebe’s archetypal mapping and Dr. Berens’ “business-friendly” role mapping of the 8 cognitive processes to our unconscious use. The learning gained from the online workshop has high applicability in any relationship situation, whether it be societal, familial, romantic, or work-oriented. You will learn how the relative preference and development of each cognitive process influences behavior and interaction between people, and gain first-hand experience by interacting with others on the call. There will be a strong focus on participation in this online workshop series, so the number of attendees will be limited to ensure full attention to all.

"In terms of Vicky Jo's current seminar, I am glad that she has broken it up into several segments starting with "Can You Spot It?"  There is so much info being quickly disseminated that I can imagine that it is hard for those without any background to keep up. The great thing is that unlike the other seminars I have taken she has many, many other resources including videos and pdf files to study. She is also available to answer my question via e-mail and is quite responsive (less than a day). The bottom line is that next time I might extend the course by a week and charge maybe $100-150 more!"

A Word About Online Workshops
This is a technology that allows you to participate in a workshop or seminar from the comfort of your own home, but with all the interactivity of being there in person. All you need is a personal computer with a web browser and a telephone. All presentation materials are displayed on your computer screen, and you will hear and be heard via the phone. On-screen controls allow you to “raise your hand” and type questions or comments as they occur to you. The online workshop presenters are able to give you individual attention, the same as if you were there in the classroom with them. So there’s no travel expenses involved, and the episodic nature of the online workshop allows plenty of time for practice, reflection, and application of the learning between calls. Your online workshops will be recorded and made available to you should you miss a session.

Course Description: 

As a type professional, identification of the 8 function/Attitude pairs (or “cognitive processes” as Jung called them) is a necessary skill. As a follow-on from “Can You Spot It?,” this online workshop series delves more deeply into how the 8 cognitive processes manifest in oneself, increasing your awareness of your own use of them. By interacting with others on these calls, you will see how processes that come naturally to you may be challenging for others. By gaining an increased understanding of how each function works in yourself, you are better equipped to understand your clients. This 6-part series explores each cognitive process using definitions provided by C.G. Jung, Dr. John Beebe, and Dr. Linda Berens. In order to maximize attention to each participant, we are limited the number of attendees.

The Self of the Self-Organizing System

Author: 

Systems are not concretely visible. Only in the last 40 years have behavioral scientists really been learning to "see" systems, especially human systems. Systems are patterns of relationships that are organized. They have "rules" that govern their behavior. The pattern of organization is not imposed from outside, but "comes with" the system at the moment of creation. Thus, the idea of self-organizing. It is the system itself that organizes itself around some sort of operating principle.  more »
