Dancing the Wheel of Psychological Types

by Mary E. Loomis

A thorough, readable explanation of Jung’s theory of psychological types combined with a spiritual guide adapted from Native American teachings—the medicine wheel and its beautiful inner wheels, which guide the dances of living. A fascinating and clear meeting of Western and Native American cultures. Mary Loomis's book shows truly how all great paths of knowledge are interwoven. All are part of the great Medicine Wheel of life. -Sun Bear , Chippewa medicine man, author of Black Dawn, Bright Day What a wealth of material! Brought together in a fascinating way are Loomis's two facets of the subject of typology, from the Jungian and the Cherokee perspectives. Loomis has found a way to give the mythic dimension to Jung's theory, to the idea of typology. A work that makes an important contribution to the understanding of the process of individuation, by whatever path one chooses to take. - June Singer, Jungian analyst, author of Boundaries of the Soul Mary E. Loomis, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst and a longstanding student of the Native American Sweet Medicine Sundance Teachings. She is coauthor of the Singer-Loomis Inventory of Personality

Disappointing. It is a copy and paste book of Jung's Psychological Types with poor and incomplete correlations to other systems. It was supposed to have more correlations between North American Indian beliefs and Jung's ideas but alack it did not.
