Theory As Inner Transformation
- Dąbrowski's theory frames human development as an inner transformational process rather than a standard stage-based progression.
- It centers on psychological growth driven by internal conflict and restructuring of values.
Disintegration Is Rebuilding
- Positive disintegration names the process of a person's existing psychic structures breaking down and being replaced by new structures.
- The term highlights that disintegration can lead to higher-level reconstruction rather than mere collapse.
Two Foundations: Potential And Levels
- Developmental potential and multilevelness are the theory's foundational concepts that determine who is likely to transform.
- Developmental potential includes overexcitabilities, dynamisms, talents, and intelligence interacting toward growth.
