Publications List People Patterns by Stephen Montgomery The Pygmalion Project: Volume 1: The Artisan by Stephen Montgomery. Volume 1 investigates the styles of love and coercion among the Keirseyan temperaments, taking famous characters from literature and film as provocative case studies. The Artisan approaches the art of loving from the Artisans' point-of-view, by examing their playful and charming way in relations with Guardian [SJ], Rational [NT], Idealist [NF] partners. Begin by completing Keirsey's new personality test, and then read about the Artisan mating game, how they delight and dismay their loved ones, as presented in the pages of D. H. Lawrence, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and eight other authors. More importantly learn more about Keirsey's concept of the Pygmalion Project -- how we try to sculpt our loved ones into copies of ourselves, and how we are manipulated by them in return. If you've ever been in love with an Artisan (or ever been fooled by one), The Pygmalion Project will prove fascinating reading. A more detailed review of Pygmalion Project: The Artisan The Pygmalion Project: Volume 2: The Guardian by Stephen Montgomery. The second part of Dr. Stephen Montgomery's quartet on love and coercion among the types focuses on the Guardians' [SJ] uniquely responsible style of caring for others. Montgomery has selected characters from works of Jane Austen, Sinclair Lewis, Virginia Woolf, and half a dozen other authors, to bring to life the Guardian's parental way in love and marriage, and to illustrate their earnest style of interpersonal manipulation-- what Keirsey calls the Pygmalion Project. The book examines the Guardians both as instigators and as victims of marital games with the Rationals [NT], the Idealists [NF] and particularly with the childlike Artisans [SP]. If you have a Guardian spouse (or even a Guardian parent), The Pygmalion Project : Volume 2 will help you understand and appreciate them. The Pygmalion Project: Volume 3: The Idealist by Stephen Montgomery. The third part of Dr. Stephen Montgomery's quartet on love and coercion among the types focuses on the Idealists [NF] intense, highly intuitive, temperament. Learn how the Idealists search for ideal love, longing to find the perfect "soul mate" with whom they can share their inner lives. Montgomery has selected characters in the pages of D.H. Lawrence, Leo Tolstoy, Charlotte Bronte, E.M. Forester, and several other authors. More significantly, read about the Idealist's special gift for what Professor Keirsey calls the Pygmalion Project - that need in all of us to sculpt our loved ones into copies of ourselves. |
