About the King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover system of thinking

"In my own school of thought, I draw from different schools of psychoanalysis. I'm a Neo-Jungian, but someone could make the case that I'm a Neo-Adlerian or a Neo-Freudian. I have tried to draw on a vast variety of materials to come up with a more scientific psychoanalysis, which I call structural psychoanalysis. Any psychoanalysis that is scientific not only has to discern structures in the psyche, but it must develop the best possible understanding of how those structures got there, what goes wrong with them, and how dysfunctions of structure create psychopathology. It must also understand how changing structures aids us in helping the personality integrate and move toward its optimum. That's what my project is. It's very grandiose, but I've always said, befriend your grandiosity. As Dizzy Dean said, 'It ain't grandiose if you can do it.'"
