A comprehensive approach to self-realization, psychosynthesis was developed between 1910 and the 1950s by the Italian psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli. Assagioli like Jung, diverged from Freud in order to develop an understanding of human nature that took account of spiritual dimensions. This book, originally published in 1987, is an exploration of psychosynthesis and the depth of mystical and scientific ideas behind it. It will be of great value to all those interested in personal integration and spiritual growth in general, and psychosynthesis in particular.
Focusing on psychosynthesis as transpersonal psychology, Jean Hardy describes how the ideas behind psychosynthesis spring both from scientific study of the unconscious and from the long mystical tradition of both the Easter and Western world. She shows how the roots of a modern spiritual, or transpersonal, psychology lie in a split tradition within the Western world – while psychology aspires to be scientific, religion or mystical knowledge is currently studied within the discipline of theology. The two have up till now been very little related, and the special achievement of psychosynthesis as a therapy is that it relates the soul and theology to the personality and psychology, and perceives personal and developmental patterns as a microcosm of larger social and historical patterns.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Second hand copy, previous owner's name and phone number on the title page, no other annotations, one-page dogeared, no other damage. In reading this book one is struck  among other things  by an apparent contradiction: psychosynthesis claims to be in experimentally and scientifically based psychology; on the other hand, it appears to have an affinity with the esoteric tradition  a perspective widely divergent, if not opposite, to the scientific approach. How can this contradiction be explained? The answer is simple. Esotericism and empirical science undoubtably at two ends of the spectrum; backspace: esotericism starts with universal statements about reality, and ends up with the particular and the contingent. Empirical science, instead starts, from the particular and the contingent and ends up in the universal, i.e. in general laws and principles. Esotericism is based on faith and intuition. Science is based on experience. The two outlooks are, in fact, symmetrically opposed  page XI this is the first British edition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. XIV, 245 pages.
