Psychosynthesis. Principles and technology. Assagioli R.

Assajioli was a bold innovator, one of the first psychologists who recognized the spiritual nature of man. The psychosynthesis method developed by him, presented in this book in full, has become a clinically applicable form of psychotherapy, including the transpersonal aspect of human experience. Starting as a psychoanalyst, he came to the conclusion that love, wisdom, creativity and will, as important components of human life, should be included in the field of psychology and psychotherapeutic practice.

He found that when various aspects of our being They are in conflict, our energy becomes blocked, and this hurts us. However, when the synthesis of two or more parts of our personality occurs, energy is freed, and we experience a feeling of deep satisfaction and well -being. This is the essence of psychosynthesis: a harmonious unification of all our components around the common center. The tendency to synthesize is inherent in us internally, psychosynthesis simply removes the existing blocking and stimulates the process that helps us become who we are.

The achievement of this goal goes through several stages: a deep knowledge of our personality; establishing control over its various components; the implementation of the true “I” - “disclosure” or the creation of a unifying “center”; The implementation of psychosynthesis: the formation or reconstruction of personality around this new “center”. This is the main purpose of psychosynthesis: achieving harmony and the integration of all the qualities and functions of the individual into a single whole.
