Roberto Assagioli: a man of peaceful action

Roberto Assagioli's Psychosynthesis is a holistic psychological approach that integrates the personal and spiritual dimensions of the self. Unlike traditional psychoanalysis, which focuses on pathology, Psychosynthesis emphasises personal growth, creativity, and the realisation of one’s Higher Self. Assagioli viewed the psyche as structured around multiple subpersonalities, guided by a unifying center of consciousness. His model includes stages of personal development, self-awareness, and spiritual awakening. Central to his theory is the "I" (personal self) and the (transpersonal or spiritual Self), with will as a key agent for synthesis. Psychosynthesis aims to harmonise all aspects of the individual for inner unity and purpose.
