Jung vs. Psychosynthesis (Part 2): Healing the Whole Self & the Role of Will

🧠 Jung vs. Psychosynthesis (Part 2): Healing the Whole Self | Roberto Assagioli

What truly sets Roberto Assagioli’s psychosynthesis apart from Carl Jung’s analytical psychology? In this powerful continuation of our series, Dr. Assagioli explores the deeper contrasts between the two systems—especially in how they approach healing, transformation, and the human spirit.

📖 Read from Assagioli’s original writings and brought to life by Jan Kuniholm, this episode dives into the therapeutic relationship, the nature of the Self, and how psychosynthesis integrates will, imagination, and spiritual development into the process of inner growth.

🎧 In This Lecture, You’ll Discover:

• Why Jung critiqued traditional “pathologism” in psychology

• The holistic, integrative approach of psychosynthesis

• The individuation process and how both systems view the unconscious

• The role of the ego, will, and Self in personal transformation

• How transference and therapeutic relationship support inner awakening

• The inner work of the therapist—and why humility matters

This episode is essential for anyone interested in the evolution of depth psychology, including therapists, spiritual seekers, and students of inner development.
