Ever since I wrote my study of Maslow, New Pathways in Psychology, in 1970, Ihave been a fascinated spectator of the slow de-freudianization of psychology. First came Viktor Frankl’s existenz-psychologie, which emerged from his experience in Nazi death camps, and was based on the recognition that man’s mental and physical health depends upon his sense of purpose. At around the same time, English and American readers became aware of the Zurich school of existenz-psychologists, led by Ludwig Binswanger, who emphasized the need for the psychoanalyst to get ‘inside’ the patient’s neurosis, and stop importing his own prejudices. The starting point of Assagioli’s ‘psychosynthesis’ was the recognition that man possesses a central core of being, a ‘self’, and that by recognizing his own creative potentialities, man can develop ‘to- wards the Superconscious.’ Maslow also decisively rejected Freud’s mechanistic vision of man, and spoke of ‘higher ceilings of human consciousness.’ For me, the essence of experiences’, those sudden flashes of strength and sheer happiness that are characteristic of all healthy people. Carl Rogers recognized the central importance of self-esteem, anidea that was also ingeniously developed by Nathaniel Branden. There is a sense in which all these developments are a return to the observation made by William James in a Jittle book called On Vital Reserves (1900), in which he pointed out that ‘the human individual...lives usually far within his limits; he possesses powers
