Ep. 48 – Heroes against Demons

Ep. 63 – Cupid and Psyche


Psychiatry (and then some) discussion mentioned:

Tom Cruise and Matt Lauer on the Today Show.

The Hollywood Reporter article on the June 24, 2005 event.

Dig a little deeper into Cruise’s psyche with Peter Overton’s 60 Minutes Australia interview. No specific talk of psychology or psychiatry, however.

This interview shows a short clip of Cruise’s Oprah appearance. Very odd.

Either way, I remain a fan of most Tom Cruise movies. He’s a legitimate movie star and the face of many of the movies from the last few decades… that I still love to this day.

I still have a hard time reconciling Cruise’s antics and the movies he stars in. He’s a movie star, not much more.


Jungian Typology

Carl Jung (1875-1961). A Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. Hugely influential in the psychiatry field in the 20th Century and beyond.

Jung is considered the “father” of analytic psychology, who coined the term (Analytische Psychologie in the original German). Analytic psychology is also known as Jungian analysis.

Psychological Types

Four main functions of consciousness

  • Non-Rational or perceiving

    • Sensation

    • Intuition

  • Rational or judging

    • Thinking

    • Feeling

From what I gather, Jung sees things as tendencies rather than typecasting a human being… “more into the theory,” as Scott said.

Psychological Types (German: Psychologische Typen) is a 1921 book by Carl Jung (translated into English in 1923). The tome eventually became volume 6 of the Collected Works of C.G. Jung.

Jung’s own interest in typology was trying to reconcile theories of Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler with his own theories.

Jung’s work heavily influenced 20th Century psychology and psychiatry.

Jung was “trying to find the undergirding essence of human consciousness,” said Scott.


Book mentioned:

Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl


Myers and Briggs

Roughly contemporaneous with Jung were Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother Katharine Cook Briggs.

Myers and Briggs were trying to “make something practical and accessible from Jung’s original work,” said Scott.


Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

  • E or I

    • Extraversion

    • Intraversion

  • S or N

    • Sensing

    • Intuition

  • T or F

    • Thinking
