Comparing Theorists: Jung & Fromm. OKA is frequently asked how the instruments we use relate to one another. These slides, prepared by Bill Roberts (OKA Associate) compare and contrast key ideas and experiences of Jung (Psychological Type Theory) and Fromm (Relationship Awareness Theory). The work of Jung and Fromm ultimately inspired two popular instruments used by OKA: the MBTI Assessment, and the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI). Link to Presentation
