"Psychosynthesis was first formulated in 1910 by the Italian psychiatrist, 
Roberto Assagioli (1888-1974), a pioneer of the psychoanalytic movement in 
Italy, and a contemporary of both Freud and Jung. Early in his work he 
observed that repression of higher, superconscious impulses (later known as 
"repression of the sublime") could be just as damaging to the psyche as 
repression of material from the lower unconscious. Traditional 
psychoanalysis recognizes a primitive, or "lower" unconscious - the source 
of our atavistic and biological drives. But there is also a higher 
unconscious, a superconscious - an autonomous realm from which originate our 
more highly evolved impulses: altruistic love and will, humanitarian action, 
artistic and scientific inspiration, philosophic and spiritual insight, and 
the drive toward purpose and meaning in life. Psychosynthesis is concerned 
with integrating material from the lower unconscious and with realizing and 
actualizing the content of the superconscious. To this end, it uses a wide 
range of techniques for contacting the superconscious and establishing a 
bridge with that part of our being where true wisdom is to be found. The 
superconscious is thereby accessible, in varying degrees, to each one of us, 
and can provide a great source of energy, inspiration, and direction. 
Psychosynthesis helps us in attempting to manifest this part of ourselves as 
fully as possible in everyday living."
