Editing Psychosynthesis (section)

==Aims==
In ''Psychosomatic Medicine and Bio-psychosynthesis'', Assagioli states that the principal aims and tasks of psychosynthesis are:

# the elimination of the conflicts and obstacles, conscious and unconscious, that block [the complete and harmonious development of the human personality]
# the use of active techniques to stimulate the psychic functions still weak and immature.<ref>{{Cite web |last=kenneth |first=sorensen |date=2017-06-02 |title=Psychosomatic Medicine and Bio-Psychosynthesis, by Roberto Assagioli |url=https://kennethsorensen.dk/en/psychosynthesis-medicine-and-bio-psychosynthesis-by-roberto-assagioli/ |access-date=2025-01-11 |website=Kenneth Sørensen |language=en-US}}</ref>

In his book, ''Psychosynthesis: A Collection of Basic Writings'' (1965), Assagioli writes of three aims of psychosynthesis:

<blockquote>
Let us examine whether and how it is possible to solve this central problem of human life, to heal this fundamental infirmity of man. Let us see how he may free himself from this enslavement and achieve an harmonious inner integration, true Self-realization, and right relationships with others. (p. 21)
