Abstract
Lifespan developmental theory suggests that midlife is an important stage where men typically re-evaluate major areas of their life including career, self/masculine identity and primary relationships. Midlife is also seen as a period where the desire to pass on what one has learned, or regeneration, becomes important. These aspects of midlife can be looked at from several perspectives including Jung's theory of personality type which has since been interpreted and extended by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers to form the basis of the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory. It can be concluded that personality type does impact on the male midlife experience and thus has implications for counsellors working with men in midlife.
