Original research material from Naranjo, so invaluable info for understanding the Enneagram. Not a book for everyone, though. Best for actual psychologists or advanced Enneagram practitioners. Otherwise it will be very hard to read.

Zit meesterlijk in elkaar. Geweldige beschrijvingen en blaakt van eminentie op dit gebied. Wel dusdanig erudiet dat het haast net zo esoterisch wordt als het bronmateriaal, en maakt de praktische toepassing die het suggereert slechts magertjes waar, maar psychologisch ongeëvenaard.

Quick read, but very convoluted and abstract, so not a good beginner book.
