Unfolding Self: The Practice of Psychosynthesis Paperback – September 1, 2004

A must for anyone studying psychosynthesis

I love it!

The Synthesis Center in Amherst, MA, uses this book as the core curriculum in training professional coaches based on the Psychosynthesis model of psychological wellness and evolution. This holistic psychology was developed by Roberto Assagioli throughout the 20th century, and although not as well known in the mainstream, it has influenced the field of psychology over the years in very positive ways. It has stood the test of time because it integrates the whole person. Not just healing from past traumas, or functioning well with day to day matters, but also looking at and incorporating the transpersonal realm of the psyche: actively cultivating one's own purpose, meaning, and values-- unique and individual to each person.Having gone through the professional training, what stands out to me most is my own personal experience with the material and how much more whole I feel. This is the sentiment of everyone I have asked who has done the training, which is really what speaks to the power of this material. It gives one the blessing of being more oneself. It is truly transformational, and great gift to the self, however one can access the knowledge, and put it to use.

Recommnded for anyone seeking a connection with the transpersonal self, or personal growth that allows room for a spiritual dimension.

Great book, loving the spiritual and reflective undertones. Something about this book or this method makes the reading very calm and introspective. Does not feel like “work” or “efforting”.
