This article concerns the road counselors take when they become consultants to organizations. The focus is on that part of the transition when counselors and organizations seem to be in different worlds. Jung's typology and the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) can be a bridge between these worlds. The MBTI is based on valuable differences in the ways human beings use their minds. The article discusses briefly the assumptions of the MBTI and data about distribution of types of counselors and types of leaders in organizations. Practical suggestions are included for using type differences to build mutual respect, better teamwork and problem solving, improved communication, and higher productivity in the workplace.

Emotional disturbance during pregnancy and the postpartum period is very common and at times leads to serious psychotic reactions. Studies comparing the relative frequency of psychotic breakdown in women during pregnancy or postpartum, or at other times, indicate that there is a greater frequency of psychotic reaction in the postpartum period (Pugh et al., 1963; Ryle, 1961; Tobin, 1957; Strecker and Ebaugh, 1926; Richardson and Guttmacher, 1967).

A model describing individual differences in problem‐solving styles has practical applications in the classroom.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI; Myers & McCaulley, 1985) is used at each stage of career assessment and career counseling. Based on Jung's theory of psychological types, the psychodynamic model of the MBTI is useful for self-understanding and life-long development. MBTI type descriptions characterize 16 types at their best; provide positive, self-affirming goals; and note blind spots and problems to avoid. MBTI type tables apply Jung's theory to groups; type tables for careers not only validate Jung's theory, but provide ways for looking at occupations attractive to each of the 16 psychological types. Career counselors use type tables to help clients see the fit between their preferences and career families and to highlight careers especially worth considering. The MBTI problem-solving model is a useful tool in the career planning process. Finally, counselors who understand the MBTI find it useful for individualizing counseling approaches and strategies to the type preferences of their clients.
