of psychological development:
Picture

​Across 18 months, BAAPT will guide you on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. You will:
  • Learn how the Persona shapes the way you show up in the world.
  • Understand the Ego as the center of your conscious identity.
  • Integrate the Self as the deeper, guiding force of your inner life.
  • Explore and apply Dr. John Beebe’s groundbreaking framework, which connects the 8 Jungian cognitive functions to the Persona, Ego, and Self. You'll learn how the functions can develop, evolve, and express themselves throughout your life.
  • Gain tools to improve how you connect with others — in your family, friendships, romantic relationships, workplaces, communities, and beyond.

Get ready to be immersed in an array of programs, discussions, film reviews, and seminars! Each event will last 2-6 hours, allowing ample time for deep reflection and in-depth discussion.

What to Expect at our Events
​

This journey features a minimum of 24 events...
Including 4 in-depth seminars and at least 20 signature programs!
​  
​
Picture
​All programs and seminars are based on and reference John Beebe's powerful framework of 24 Descriptors. Each gerund is a dynamic concept, that builds a connection between 1 cognitive function and 1 Jungian model component: the Persona, Ego, or Self. (For example, Validating connects Extraverted Feeling with the Persona.) We will learn about, and apply these descriptors at our events:

​3-HOUR IMMERSIVE PROGRAMS
Each program is presented by an expert in the cognitive functions, and includes a mix of presentations, group discussions, and interactive activities.

6-HOUR DEEP-DIVE SEMINARS
We encourage you to register for our membership options, which include our full-day seminars.  Each full-day seminar will feature multiple presentations from our distinguished experts. In between, there will be activities, including film discussions, group discussions, games, and more!

An Accessible & Enriching Journey for All

​If you're new to these concepts (e.g. Introverted Thinking, the persona, etc.), each one will be introduced along the way, helping you to get acquainted. There will also be a few introductory sessions if you're completely brand new to the 8 Jungian cognitive functions.

If you're more experienced with the psyche and the functions, you'll uncover a multitude of perspectives that will deepen your understanding of them. You'll often be discussing and engaging with multiple concepts at a time. Through this process, you'll witness how they interact and form meaningful and dynamic patterns. These theoretical connections can help strengthen your tangible connections - within yourself and with others.

The Art of Parenting in 2025
Blending Science & Art for Excellence
​with Elizabeth Murphy
​

📅 Saturday May 10, 2025
​🕒 Duration: 3.5+ hours​     💻Online     🎥 Recorded​

Parenting is hard work. Today’s parents want the best for their child without sacrificing their total life. How do you blend the needs of the developing child with the needs of the parent? This workshop focuses on the development of these 3 elements in the parenting loop for both parent and child:

💞 Knowledge
💞 Ego strength
💞 Resilience

We will examine the joys and the stressors for parenting by personality type. For instance what parenting tasks stress an ISTJ parent, can be very different from what stresses an ENFP parent. Throw the child’s personality type into the play and now you have a complicated arena that requires knowledge, ego strength, and resilience.

Personality type differences in the use and emergence of these elements is a key focal point. Participants will leave with over 50 hints for working with type differences in a family system.

Takeaways​

​✅ Use personality type in daily life with your family members.
✅ Recognize type in development vs inappropriate behavior.
✅ Use the awareness of type differences to develop resilience in the parent and in the child.
✅  Identify ego strength and ways to help manage its development.
