  • This book is about some relationships that might exist between psychological type, talent and disease that, for reasons about to be discussed, may follow an oddly circular model of cognitive development in the brain, roughly analogous to the movement of light around a sundial. The relationships have not been proven conclusively in most instances, are inductively reasoned from a variety of old and new perspectives, and are highly uncertain at best, as these connections are only recently being explored by the psychological type community. Nevertheless, there are valid purposes to such a preliminary attempt, which are namely to enhance our limited understanding of the role of cognition in disease processes, and to create a researchable model of psychological type, talent and health that has heretofore been lacking in the typological literature. It is hoped that by first examining pathological patterns that may or may not be present in the different types and talents, we might better understand the conscious conditions for health in each of these various categories.

It considers possible connections between type and disease--and does so in a way that appeals to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® practitioner and popular interest in such complementary therapies as chakra stimulation, Chinese medicine, and Therapeutic Touch. Sundial is set up like the history of contemporary Western medicine and psychology, moving from a sequentially ordered, science-based, analytical dissection of the ills of the body and mind to a more holistic, integrative approach to the whole of the person (mind, body, heart, and soul). Sundial makes the case that cognition and behavior associated with psychological type may be related to certain kinds of disease, but may also provide clues to disease prevention and health management.
