Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration: Reflection, Refraction, and Resituation aims to accomplish three objectives: to make a complex theory more accessible to readers, to situate the theory in its proper academic home, and to comply with Dabrowski's request to refine his creation. To accomplish the first objective, the book describes clearly Dabrowskian concepts and illustrates them using tables and figures. The author's description of his personal experiences with Dabrowski's ideas contributes to the ease of readers' understanding the theory. To accomplish the second objective, the meanings of the concepts in the theory of positive disintegration are compared and contrasted to their definitions in traditional psychology. To accomplish the third objective recommendations for refinement of the theory are made, where appropriate, as requested in Dabrowski's written invitation for interested parties to build on the theory of positive disintegration. The book contains four parts. Part I, The Theory and Me, addresses fundamental issues of the theory. Chapter 1 presents various perceptions of the theory. Chapter 2 includes the set of selected constructs with which this book is concerned. Chapter 3 contrasts psychological constructs, integral to the author's scholarly and psychotherapeutic work, with their depictions in the theory of positive disintegration. Chapter 4 explains a central proposition in Dabrowski's theory: that negative emotions, under certain conditions, are signs of personal growth. Part II, Dabrowskian Development, deals with the conceptualization of development in the theory. Chapter 5 discusses Dabrowski's five levels of development, describing the progression from primitive to exemplary human functioning. Chapters 6 and 7 examine dynamisms that are the forces of development and their emergence in daily living. Chapter 6 discusses disintegrating dynamisms, responsible for the destruction of primitive, self-centered modes of living. Chapter 7 presents the developmental dynamisms, signifying advanced, morally-driven modes of living. Part III, Dabrowskian Constructs in Context, examines some central constructs of the theory in a broader psychological context. Chapter 8 contrasts Dabrowski's conception of self with self-concept. Chapter 9 contrasts established theories of intelligence with Dabrowski's view of intelligence. Chapter 10 compares Dabrowski's hierarchy of values, a concept equated with advanced development, with a social ps Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration redefines established psychological constructs, especially the construct of psychopathology. Current views of what constitutes disorders is so engrained in western cultures that they are seen, implicitly, as immutable. Any codification of what comprises psychiatric disorders or abnormality is a social construction, subject to change, as indicated by some changes in the DSM over the years. Dabrowski's theory questions the very foundation of the approach to psychopathology that existed in his time and is evident today.The critical message of the theory of positive disintegration is that what are deemed symptoms of mental disorder may be, instead, signs of personal growth. Dabrowski does not simply proclaim his position, he provides a coherent explanation for it. While Dabrowski addresses substantive issues of mental illness and mental health, most of the research literature purporting to investigate his theory dwells on one component of his theory: overexcitability.The essays in DYNAMISM, DEVELOPMENT AND DISPOSITIONS have a common aim: to draw attention to the fullness of the theory with the hope of encouraging researchers to move beyond their singular atomic focus.A word on the subtitle of the book is in order. Sal Mendaglio's essays honour a great theorist with a scholarly, not effusive, treatment of the theory of positive disintegration. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
