This article examines the integration of psychosynthesis and positive psychotherapy as a holistic therapeutic approach. Psychosynthesis, developed by Roberto Assagioli, emphasizes integrating conscious and unconscious aspects of personality to foster personal growth and spiritual fulfillment. Positive psychotherapy, introduced by Nossrat Peseschkian, focuses on activating individual resources to address psychological challenges through a structured, transcultural framework.
The integration of these modalities combines psychosynthesis’s spiritual depth with the practical tools of positive psychotherapy, offering a comprehensive strategy for addressing complex clinical issues such as identity crises, existential challenges, and developmental trauma. While highlighting their compatibility, the article also addresses potential risks, emphasizing the importance of systematic frameworks and rigorous training.
This synthesis broadens the scope of therapeutic applications, enhancing client-centered, flexible, and effective interventions. The proposed model demonstrates the transformative potential of integrating distinct psychotherapeutic approaches for holistic personal and psychological development. |
