Psicosíntesis: Una psicología del espíritu (Psicología Humanista Transpersonal)

What is Psychosynthesis?

Psychosynthesis is a psychological approach that integrates personal development with the spiritual dimension of the human being. Developed by Roberto Assagioli in the early 20th century, this current considers that a person is not only formed by instincts and conditioning, but also possesses a higher center or spiritual Self. Through psychosynthesis, the aim is to harmonize the different parts of the personality around this center, facilitating an integral growth that encompasses the psychological, emotional, and transcendent aspects. This model has influenced various currents of humanistic and transpersonal psychology.
