GLENVIEW, IL - September 24, 2003 - The Association for Psychological Type (APT), an organization that promotes the study of Jungian personality type as interpreted through the MBTII, announces the inclusion of James Christensen into the APT Referral Network Program. The APT Referral Network is a national database of professionals qualified to interpret the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, (MBTI) and other personality type instruments.
The MBTI was developed through a shared vision of Katherine Briggs and daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers "to enable individuals to grow through an understanding and appreciation of individual differences in healthy personality and to enhance harmony and productivity among diverse groups." Briggs and Myers believed that Carl Jung's understanding of human development, his theoretical model encompassing psychological type, his concept of the process of individuation, and his structure of the psyche offered the most promising approach. Their mission was to give the individual access to the benefits of this understanding.
Christensen, one of over 4000 members in APT, endorses type development, research, application, and the ethical use of type theory. As a representative agent of the APT Referral Network, Christensen is available for consultation relating to personality type, with a specialty in one or more of the following Interest Areas: Careers & Occupations, Counseling & Psychotherapy, Education, Management & OD, Multicultural & International Issues, Psychological Theory and Research, Religion & Spirituality, and Special Topic: Healthcare.
