Psychosynthesis

Psychosynthesis is an approach to psychotherapy that originated in the 1950s. It combines psychoanalytic methods with the philosophy of existentialism and holistic medicine. Psychosynthesis was developed by Antonio Meneghetti in Italy.

Psychosynthesis is aimed at transforming a person’s personality and includes several key aspects: firstly, the detection of deep personal problems and their awareness, secondly, the restoration of interrupted integration of parts of the personality and the achievement of its integrity, and thirdly, training skills for building constructive communication and relationships with other people.

The main element of psychosynthesis is working with memories, dreams and fantasies. A working psychotherapist supports the natural development of a person, which we ourselves must observe, comprehend and deepen. As a result of this, the ability to direct emotions and experiences to create harmony in the situation of the individual and the outside world develops, and not vice versa.

At the core of psychosynthesis is the concept of “personal awareness,” which means acquiring inner knowledge about who and what we are, what makes us happy, sad, hateful, and so on. Psychosynthetic awareness includes the symbolic world, including dreams and fantasies. Interpretations of the world of dreams and fantasies are of particular importance for research into the process of personality development.
