The Enneagram-Jungian Psychology Series

The enneagram is a nine-pointed star, each point of which represents a personality type or pattern of behavior. Jungian therapist Margaret Keyes combines the psychological typology of the enneagram with Carl Jung's concept of the shadow in this series of books & study guides. The books are illustrated by noted California artists, including Fran Moyer & M.K. Brown. EMOTIONS & THE ENNEAGRAM: Working Through Your Shadow Life Script (ISBN 1-882042-09-3 --$14.95) is a refreshingly original & useful guide to an ancient typology. Keyes focuses intensively on mapping the shadow patterns of the personality. Once a shadow issue is identified, work toward integration & health becomes possible. The second half of the book gives practical guidance. THE ENNEAGRAM CATS OF MUIR BEACH (ISBN 1-882042-01-8 --$9.95), an amusing set of tales, embodies the nine personalities into nine cats who show characteristic Enneagram behavior in story action. THE ENNEAGRAM RELATIONSHIP WORKBOOK: A Self & Partnership Assessment Guide (ISBN 1-882042-08-5 --$14.95). The reader is first invited to identify his or her type. Then Keyes uses role play & reversal as a device for partners to look at the world from each other's eyes. We gain, not only empathy & understanding, but also options for change that we, ordinarily, would not consider. The cartoons of M.K. Brown provide a surprising sub-text.
