Humanistic Personology A Humanistic-Ontological Theory of the Person & Personality. Applications in Therapy Social Work Education Manageme

Some of the most significant fragments/ ideas of the book: "What we call, in the paper, the formation, the structure/ composition and the functioning of the person/ personality entail at least two perspectives. One it is the systemic-atomistic perspective, where the person is represented as a bio-psycho-social system, a unitary assembly of relatively autonomous formations. The other it is the spherical perspective, where the person is represented as a (multi-)spherical bio-psycho-social construction - here we refer mainly to two major (sub-)spheres of the personal (macro-)sphere, of the person as a whole, respectively the ontological-psychological sphere, and the social-personal sphere." (p. 118) *** "Into the ontogenetic process of forming of the person/ personality we distinguish two main sub-processes, steps, periods: the formation of the ontological-psychological sphere, and the formation of the social-personal sphere. The formation of the ontological-psychological sphere is done especially during childhood and adolescence, while of the social-personal sphere especially together with, and after the subject acquires social autonomy, profession, its own family, etc. The formation of the ontological-psychological sphere includes mainly the formation of the personal ontos, the soul, and the ego/self, while the formation of the social-personal sphere is conditioned mainly by the formation of the (social) conscience, character, and the (social) competences, skills, and habitudes" (p.109) *** "Humanistic persotherapy has, inter alia, this curative/ recuperative/ ameliorative task: to operate/ determine those compathetical, humane improvements at the level of inter-personal relationships, at the level of group, organization, family, couple, etc. that would lead to beneficial improvements in the internal ontological-psychological condition/ economy/ jouissance of the person" (p. 206) /// "Paradigma umanist-ontologica prioritizeaza rolul factorilor psihologic-spirituali si socio-umani in conlucrare cu cei culturali, morali, reprezentand procesul de formare a persoanei/ personalitatii ca pe o succesiva si concomitenta, transmergenta si emergenta construire fenomenologica, experientiala, de onto-formatiuni personale, persomi, sfere etc., si mai putin ca o simpla activare si abilitare a unor structuri preexistente, a unor paternuri universale putin variabile, recunoscand astfel autodeterminarea, autonomia ontogenetica, rolul subiectului, sau importanta unor constructii ontologic-psihologice ideografice precum ontosul personal, sufletul sau eul ontologic. Cruciale sunt astfel experientele subiective unice ale subiectului, trairile, emotiile sau eul ontologic si vointa, factorii psihologic-spirituali, dinamica interna autogenerativa, prin emergenta si superizare, generalizare/ abstractizare compatetica sufletesca/ spirituala." (p. 265) *** "Referitor la acceptiunea conceptului de suflet, pe care noi il utilizam in aceasta lucrare, precizam ca nu este identica, ca sens si sfera, nici cu cea consacrata n filosofia greaca si romana antica, de psihic, nici cu cea religioasa, mistica, de duh, chiar daca nu le exclude, ci face referire la un ansamblu de onto-formatiuni psihologic-ontologice, formate si instituite ontogenetic-experiential, in contextul unor premise si factori obiectivi precum corpul omenesc, senzatiile, trebuintele, experientele subiective spirituale si social-culturale, contextul natural si cultural si, n special, a unor factori precum caracteristicile persoanelor apropiate, continuitatea si consistenta interactiunilor si relatiilor specific umane de atasament, comunicare, convietuire, iubire. Altfel spus, sursa principala a formarii si fiintarii/ functionarii sufletului persoanei este OMUL (celalalt), cu tot sistemul cultural si natural pe care, ancestral sau existential, il antreneaza."
