Sofia. Studies in Psychosynthesis have had a fruitful and constructive encouragement following the research carried out by Professor Roberto Assagioli. Roberto Assagioli was born in Venice on February 27th, 1888 and died in his summer residence of Capolona, in the province of Arezzo on August 23rd, 1974. The booklet “A New Method of Healing: Psychosynthesis” was published in 1927. After using different methods of psychotherapy (suggestion, persuasion, psychoanalysis, and various active techniques), Assagioli develops a new method, which aims to reconstruct the whole personality of the patient, and officially proposes it. He also states the importance of the body-psyche interaction, which is at the basis of today’s psychosomatic orientation. Professor Assagioli’s legacy of achievements and his subsequent in-depth analysis will be illustrated in a seminar at the Universities of Sofia and Veliko Tarnovo, by Professors Paola Marinelli and Mike Malagreca from the University of Florence on May 31st in Sofia at the University of Saint Clement of Ochrid until June 4th in Veliko Tarnovo. The seminar “Introduction to Psychosynthesis” will open on May 31st in Sofia at the University of Saint Clement of Ochrid until June 4th in Veliko Tarnovo. (9Colonne)
