Jung and the English-speaking world First edition in English of the author's major work of psychological typology originally published in German in 1921. Psychological Types includes among Jung's earliest detailed discussions of the extraversion-introversion dichotomy and contains his "first systematic attempt to organise his ideas about the structure and function of the psyche" Stevens p.191 . In the text Jung identifies four distinct functions of the mind - thinking feeling sensation and intuition - and posits that one of these functions predominates in any given person's psyche. In refining his earlier ideas Jung draws heavily on Christian Gnostics an approach which allowed Freud and his followers to portray Jung as having abandoned science for mysticism.
