Through the Dabrowski Lens: Empathy and the Syntonic Continuum
Harper, Amanda J.; Clifford, Christine
Roeper Review, v41 n1 p35-41 2019
Kazimierz Dabrowski's five-level theory of personality development, the Theory of Positive Disintegration, is one in which the experience of all emotions is essential for the process of individual growth toward the personality ideal. In this article, we synthesize Dabrowski's conception of syntony and the development of empathy. We discuss the genesis of empathy within the lower levels of human personality development and visually demonstrate the multilevelness of the development of empathy through a diagrammatic representation of syntonic and empathic responses with examples of these traits mapped to the varying levels of development within Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration.
