Positive Disintegration

Viac o knihe

The theory of positive disintegration, as proposed by Kazimierz Dabrowski, explores the complex process of personality development through disharmony and adaptation challenges. He identifies disintegration as a necessary phase marked by symptoms like anxiety and psychoneurosis, which signal a breakdown of the existing psychic structure. This turmoil is essential for growth, leading to a higher level of integration and psychic health. Dabrowski emphasizes that true evolution of personality arises from dissatisfaction and fragmentation, ultimately fostering a developmental instinct toward higher functioning.
