Synopsis

Roberto Assagioli was born in Venice in 1888. As a young medical student he introduced the discoveries of Sigmund Freud to his professors. However, he saw that psychoanalysis neglected the exploration of what Maslow, some sixty years later, would call `the farther reaches of human nature'.

Assagioli was ahead of his time and was not recognized until the late sixties when Psychosynthesis, his famous contribution to human understanding, was taken up by thousands of people around the world.

Psychosynthesis, a practical therapy designed to help people achieve their full potential, evolved out of fifty years of Roberto Assagioli's psychospiritual reflections. The gems of this rich collection are presented here in Transpersonal Development.

Part One describes the reality of the superconscious. Part Two delves into the problems and difficulties experienced on the spiritual path. Part three deals with the everyday application of those insights gained in the process of spiritual awakening.

The inspiring message of this book is that transpersonal development is not just for the exceptional few. It is possible for everybody. Assagioli gives practical guidelines to help people achieve the goal. He presents a vision of the integration of cultural, scientific, and human aspects which can give birth to a new humanity.

From the Back Cover

Roberto Assagioli is one of the giants in the realm of psychology and consciousness expansion. His most famous contribution to human understanding was psychosynthesis, a comprehensive approach to self-realisation which combines a convincing theory of human psychology with a practical therapy to achieve one's full potential. However, this theory evolved out of 50 years' psychospiritual reflections, which comprise a huge body of work. The gems of this rich collection are presented here for the first time. Part 1 describes the reality of the superconscious; Part 2 delves into the problems and difficulties of the spiritual path; Part 3 deals with the everyday applications of those insights.

The inspiring message of this book is that transpersonal development is not just for the exceptional few but possible for everybody, and the author gives practical guidelines to help people achieve this goal. He presents a vision of the integration of the cultural, scientific, and human aspects which can give birth to a new humanity.
