Part 4: Psychosynthesis Influences

While all psychosynthesis therapists will be influenced by Assagioli’s original presentation, how they understand and practice psychosynthesis will also be shaped by other influences – some coinciding with those Assagioli drew upon and others arising from new perspectives, previously unavailable to Assagioli.

And yet, Assagioli’s reluctance to discuss his particular influences, many of which he concealed behind a ‘Wall of Silence’, means the psychosynthesis literature offers no clear guidelines for contemporary therapists on how to incorporate new influences so as to maintain the distinctiveness of something called ‘Psychosynthesis’? 

To explore these questions and more, join Allan Frater (wildimagination.uk) and Ryan O’Kane (ryanokane.uk) for part 4 of ‘The Psychosynthesis Sessions’, drawing upon the recent publication of Allan’s book ‘The Act of Imagination: Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy in Experiential Context’.
