By Roberto Assagioli<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong> , undated, however it must be after 1968 due to the mentioning of dates in 1968, from the Assagioli Archive in Florence, translated by Gordon Symons.

In this introduction to the work of our conference, I believe it is appropriate to give an overview, so to speak, overview, of psychosynthesis and its various fields of action.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Many of the things to which I will mention are known to most of those present, but there are also some to whom psychosynthesis is little known (and I am glad that there are these new listeners who I hope can become adherents and possible collaborators). Furthermore, the repetition and reaffirmation of things already known, but often not kept in mind or not sufficiently applied, is very useful.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The method of repetition is very effective; it is widely used in commercial advertising and politicians and especially dictators use it a lot! Thus the use of repetition, done appropriately and not mechanically, is part of the techniques of psychosynthesis.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The formative, psychosynthetic efficacy of spontaneous repetition in children was observed by Maria Montessori who understood its great importance. It called it a ‘discovery’ and made it one of the foundations of its educational method. (1)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Psychosynthesis arose above all in the medical field, as the development, modification and integration of psychoanalysis. As its name implies, it is founded on the principle of synthesis and its applications in every field; therefore it must be understood in two main senses: the first, as the development and integration of all the bio-psycho-spiritual elements of the human being in an organic and harmonic unity; secondly, it aims at the synthesis of all valid therapies: first of all what is good in the various psychotherapeutic methods, without theoretical exclusions and without subjective preferences; then to the synthesis of all the therapies, taking from them, without preconceptions, what is useful and effective they can give.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another specific character of psychosynthesis is what can be called ‘existential’; it takes into consideration the human being in his living and immediate concreteness and uniqueness, both for himself and in his “situation in the world”, which is not only different for each one, but changes in the continuous changing of human encounters and relationships and world conditions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I would like to make it very clear, in order to avoid any confusion, that this existential consideration must be kept quite distinct from the various existentialist philosophies, which, moreover, are in contrast with each other.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
