Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal, or spiritual psychotherapy, a phenomenon of the twentieth century Western world. It is a theory and practice of individual development and growth, though with a potential for wider application into social and indeed world-wide settings: and it assumes that each human being is a soul as well as a personality.

For nearly hundred years, growing alongside the psychological work of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung stands the work of Dr. Roberto Assagioli, M.D. and Psychosynthesis. A transpersonal and distinctly western psychology, Psychosynthesis puts forth a holistic model of human development that takes into account the spiritual dimension of human nature. Assagioli saw human nature as a vast array of biological, social and spiritual impulses and felt that a true psychology had to embrace all of these aspects of the person. Psychosynthesis believes that we each have an innate tendency to evolve and unfold our highest potentials and that we can consciously cooperate with this process. Some of these potentials are the capacities of consciousness, energy and the human imagination. The strengthening and interaction with these inner resources opens people to their own innate spirituality, inner wisdom and potential for inner peace. Psychosynthesis is both a theory and practice where the focus is to achieve synthesis and harmony within and around ourselves.
