		As far as I know, Roberto Assagioli is the only individual who has participated personally and actively in the unfurling of two distinct and fundamental revolutions in twentieth century psycho-logy.
		The first revolution was the birth of psychoanalysis and depth psychology in the beginning of the century: Assagioli, then a young medical student, presented his MD dissertation on psychoanalysis, wrote in the official Jahrbuch side by side with Freud and Jung, and was part of the Zurich Freud Society, the group of early psychoanalytical pioneers.
		The second revolution in which Assagioli participated was the creation of humanistic and transpersonal psychology in the 1960s.

	Roberto Assagioli's Psychosynthesis
		Assagioli was the pioneer who laid the foundation for future explorers of the human psyche, like Ken Wilber and all his colleagues in the transpersonal psychology of today.
		Assagioli explained the working of this technique by stating that the Inner Teacher of the patient was none other the Self itself, that offered wisdom and balance to the mind of the questioner.
		Assagioli asserts that it is crucial for the ego to have a strong determination and a strong resolution, to be able to make progress and gain or restore mental health.

	Psychosynthesis: A Collection of Basic Writings
		Assagioli was really the seed or beginning point of Psychosynthesis, developing the system from his own theories and experiences, and from tools and techniques he had worked with in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy fields.
		Assagioli's relegation of emotions to "distorting" fits in with his sense, feel, think, act model, as thinking in his opinion is critical at making the "correct" decision, and more appropriate to scientific thought and method.
		Assagioli was the founder of psychosynthesis, which sees humans as tending naturally toward harmony with self and the world.

	Psychosynthesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a transpersonal theory, it stresses the need of communion with "Higher" or "Transpersonal Self", or achievement of the state of transegoic existence - which is generally not accepted, or is interpreted as a psychological aberration, by other psychology schools.
		In Assagioli's model of psychosynthesis, we may divide spiritual/life "paths" according to the question: who is the chief protagonist of psycho-spiritual process?
		In this respect, Assagioli merges Eastern Tantric tradition (disidentified "I" who becomes the chief actor of "projective" experiences of identification with various symbols of the superconscious/Bardo) and Western tradition of Higher Self as living guide (Inner God, Christ, Lapis).Also, Assagioli draws on wide field of experiential material of existential psychology (Maslow, Frankl,..).

		Assagioli, with works most public in terms of identifiable world-wide results, was born of a Jewish mother.
		Except for a diminishing circle of people who were close to Assagioli and were aware of the connection, and who studied with him and still alive today, nothing would be known of the esoteric background of his work.
		Well aware of this threat, Assagioli wisely instituted what became known to his disciples as "The Wall of Silence." Only those closest to him in the esoteric aspects of his work were aware of the true roots of Psychosynthesis and they in turn were pledged to absolute silence.

		Assagioli recognized that moving from the personal psychosynthesis phase of development to the spiritual psychosynthesis phase often was prompted by a spiritual crisis.
		Assagioli was clear that psychosynthesis could not pretend to be a spiritual teaching, but it could attempt to re-interpret universal spiritual wisdom into psychological insight.

		Today, these facts about Roberto’s life are fairly well known to students of Psychosynthesis, but at an earlier time, it was kept quiet.

	#TL10D: Willpower and Psychosynthesis
		Assagioli pointed out the importance of the will in working with our consciousness; he noted the will's role in overcoming obstacles, in maintaining a receptive state, in acting as a propellant to attain and stabilize the consciousness at its higher levels, as well as in directing and making use of the energies released (1991, p.48).
		Assagioli also recognized five forces, labeling the fifth "psycho-energetics." (Assagioli, 1980) This is the study of all experiences as energy, and relates modern psychology to the new physics.
		Assagioli, like Jung, posited that the spiritual realm is not necessarily connected to any particular religious group, and psychosynthesis continues to draw inspiration from all the great religious traditions.

		Roberto Assagioli (1888-1974), the founder of Psychosynthesis, in his conception of the whole human being included both the discoveries of psychoanalysis and the wisdom of spiritual traditions.
		Assagioli, talked of psychosynthesis as essentially an attitude, an inclusive approach to the psyche which began from the premise that the whole is. We do not make ourselves whole.
		Yet although he was dissatisfied with the Freudian approach Assagioli himself never intended to set up a separate school of psychology, but more of a wider perspective within which Freud's contribution would have its place.

	Will Parfitt Website: Roberto Assagioli Kabbalist
		Although Roberto Assagioli, the founder of psychosynthesis, does not mention the Kabbalah in his writings, it is clear he was strongly influenced by it, both directly through Jewish mysticism, and more indirectly - although perhaps more potently - through mystical teachings from other sources.
		Assagioli had books by Gershom Scholem (the 'founder' of modern Jewish mysticism) in his library, a friendship with Martin Buber (whose interest in Kabbalah is well known), a general interest in esoteric subjects and philosophies, the works of Alice Bailey and Theosophy, the works of Plato and Dante, and a lively, inquiring mind.
		It is clear that the main Kabbalistic diagram, The Tree of Life, is at the core of the spiritual psychologies in which Roberto Assagioli, the founder of Psychosynthesis, had a life-long interest.

	Behavior OnLine Forums - Defining Spirituality - A Gestalt therapy perspective
		The founder of Psychosynthesis, the psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli, takes a very existential and phenomenological approach to defining religion and spirituality which I appreciate.
		In many ways Assagioli makes the distinction between psychology and religion on practical grounds, offering definitions of terms such as “self” and “spiritual” and “religion” as being practical realities which can be experienced and altered by psychological techniques.
		For example, in defining the term spiritual he does not attempt to define or discuss what it is in essence but offers the fact of spiritual experience, an experience of what he terms the super conscious.
