The foundations of psychosynthesis were laid in the second decade of this century by the Italian psychiatrist,
Roberto Assagioli, whose work was far ahead of its time. The founder was one of those rare persons who can
truly be called a “sage”. His wisdom, his radiant love, his down-to-earth simplicity were appreciated by all who
knew him. Psychosynthesis was not merely an abstract doctrine to him but a practical philosophy that he
applied in his, daily living.
