Kind of. So from what I've read so far he claims that some of Jung's assumptions are too restrictive. For example, the assumption that that which is not conscious is relegated to the vegetative nervous system. Rather, the author claims that there are multiple consciousnesses. He makes the distinction of that which is outside of the ego consciousness can still be a form of consciousness, as opposed to simply unconscious. He sites the rare exception of split personalities as an example, but what we call a "grip experience" is a more common example of when you in an altered state of consciousness. You may not "be yourself" at the time, but can you really say that you are not conscious? So if you have autonomous complexes in the psyche that can high-jack consciousness and become conscious, then they are not the same as unconsciousness on the level of primitive instinct.

I'm not sure if he exactly states that the vegetative nervous state has a Quaternary of functions, since he would object to the Quaternary, the idea of the unconscious as a purely vegetative state and the idea that there are no differentiated functions in the unconscious, but yes he does basically say that the non preferred FAs are represented. Instead, he makes the distinction between conscious differentiated ego functions and unconscious differentiating functions. The difference here is that in the unconscious there is an inherent structure that allows the functions to become differentiated. In the unconscious this relates more to contents and potential contents than a directed process. Here the idea of ego differentiating versus unconscious ideational integration is important. The latter is more to do with Jung's concepts of fantasy and active imagination.

I wasn't expecting much, but it has been a really interesting read so far. Link for the book by Gaboury that I'm referencing.
