Description
Personality-Shaping Through Positive Disintegration by Kazimierz Dabrowski explores the concept that personality is not fixed, but rather it can be consciously created and developed. This comprehensive treatment of personality presents individual and universal characteristics, methods for shaping it, and case studies demonstrating its development.
First published in 1967, this book remains relevant today, offering a fresh alternative to one-dimensional theories in psychology. It introduces the concepts at the heart of Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration, covering topics such as human potential, creativity, social service, inner conflict, mental illness, and personal growth.
This edition includes an introduction by former APA president O. Hobart Mowrer, an appendix on a study of gifted children, and previously unpublished biographical pieces analyzing the personalities of notable individuals. A thought-provoking product that offers a new perspective on human nature.
