Psychosynthesis
An approach to human development fostered by Roberto Assagioli (1888-1974)
beginning around 1910 and continuing to the present day. It is both a theory
and practice where the focus is to achieve a synthesis, a coming together,
of the various parts of an individual's personality into a more cohesive
self. That person can then function in a way that is more life-affirming
and authentic. Another major aspect of psychosynthesis is its affirmation
of the spiritual dimension of the person, i.e. the "higher" or "transpersonal"
self.
