Disintegration Positive?
Though still exploring this through a bad head cold that struck me full force last night, I'm very intrigued by what I've read so far today about Kazimierz Dąbrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration. Read more about it here: http://positivedisintegration.com.
You might also find the Wikipedia page about it interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Positive_Disintegration
Thanks to Sammy Greenspan for turning me on to Dąbrowski and his theory in response to my last blog entry.

The reason I ask - is because it seems from looking at the link you've posted that it is very similar in essence to the process one goes through for spiritual growth especially as taught in Eastern schools in meditation, etc... The Buddhas enlightenment is a good quick example of it... personal constructs and ideas are torn apart to build new ways of seeing and understanding.. thus personal and spiritual growth.
This also reminds me of Jung's work as I said on FB... his whole process he went thru in writing the Red Book is not unlike Dabrowski's disintegration theory ( from what little I've read so far). But I haven't had a chance to see if they knew one another or were aware of each others work.
Anyway... thanks for posting this.. I'd not heard of him before you posted this.. always eager to learn about someone and something new.

In part, I like that it seems to confirm what I've always suspected, that many things we call mental illness (like "overexcitability" of mind) aren't always or necessarily illnesses at all, but can in fact be traits of a gifted mind and necessary to growth.

this is just another way of saying the old truth that adversity builds character, suffering purifies the soul.
it amazes me the way the academics keep trying to rewrite the old as their new new.
