Roberto Assagioli
Psychosynthesis is a holistic approach to human development that was developed by the gifted Italian psychiatrist 
Roberto Assagioli (1888-1974) from around 1910. It is non-dogmatic approach to growth and healing and expression of individual potential that includes spiritual as well as personal development. As such, it presents (like Jungian psychology) an integration of the personal (psychological) and transpersonal (mystical, spiritual) elements.

The purpose of Psychosynthesis is to further the ongoing process of evolution, and so to achieve a synthesis, a coming together, of the various parts of an individual's personality into a more cohesive self. That person can then function in a way that is more life-affirming and authentic. Along with this is the affirmation of the spiritual dimension of the person, the "higher" or "transpersonal" self, in addition to the personal and prepersonal ("lower" self). The Higher Self is seen as a source of wisdom, inspiration, meaning, and unconditional love. The integration, synthesis, or unification of the personality, happens around this higher self. This occurs in two stages: personal, and transpersonal.
Psychosynthesis is as a tool for psychological healing and personal transformation.is widely applicable and used in such diverse fields as counselling, religion, education, health care, business and management, diplomacy and international relations.
Like many other psychological and esoteric systems of thought, Psychosynthesis uses a number of maps or diagrams of consciousness in order to illustrate the various components of the self. Two diagrams used in Psychosynthesis are the Egg Diagram and the Star Diagram.
