Enneagram
Spectrum of Personality Styles:
An Introductory Guide
by Jerome Wagner, Ph.D
Intended for a general audience, this thorough yet brief guide through the
Enneagram system provides a clear common sense outline of each of the nine
styles. The resourceful characteristics and ideals of each style are contrasted
with their non-resourceful idealizations. For example the Good Persons
passion for excellence can become a maladaptive pursuit of perfectionism. The
adaptive energy, or virtue, of each style is contrasted with its maladaptive
energy, or vice. What each style avoids and how they avoid it through specific
defense mechanisms are detailed. How the distortion of each style may have
developed and what each style misses because of its distortions are described.
And the intrapsychic and interpersonal shifts that occur under relaxed and
stressful circumstances are spelled out.
The guide contains 30 exercises to help readers understand their own style by
reflecting on their own experiences. Highly readable, it is a fine teaching aid
for workshop presenters, business consultants, therapists, etc. Multiple copy
discounts are available. ISBN: 1-55552-070-7 $13.95
