Books by Petru Stefaroi
The Chapter 1 highlights the diversity of approaches in the social and human domains, focusing on three great approaches: mystical-spiritual and religious, strictly scientific, and humanistic.
In Chapter 2, the sources and models of the humanistic orientation are explored, identifying in this sense, with priority, Humanism and philosophical influences such as criticism, ontology, humanistic philosophy, and same oriental-spiritual practices. This chapter highlights also the contribution of phenomenology, existentialism, personalism,, gestaltism, neo-Marxism, the Frankfurt School, secular humanism, the human rights movement, postmodernism, feminism, and complex and emergent systems theories.
Chapter 3 focuses on the humanistic/ dual-humanistic approach in psychology and psychotherapy.. The basic principles of the humanistic approach to the human psyche were highlighted, as well as the dual-humanistic approach to personality and behavior.
Chapter 4 discusses the humanistic/ dual-humanistic orientation in sociology and social work, highlighting the characteristics of social humanism and their different postures in the field of sociology and social work.
Chapter 5 brings to the reader's attention the humanistic approach to pedagogy and education, emphasizing the specificity of child/student center education and the characteristics of the dual-humanistic approach in pedagogy/ education.
Chapter 6 addresses the issue of humanistic management, emphasizing how this approach generated a significant change in work organizations, focusing on people, employee development and their well-being.
Chapter 7 discusses the humanist approach in art, theater and film, highlighting the characteristics of humanistic aesthetics and humanistic theatrology/ filmology.
Chapter 8 brings other disciplines into the discourse, such as medicine, politics, religion, technology & science, ecology and economy, highlighting how the humanistic approach influences these fields and brings a dual perspective between person-centeredness and human/ social solidarity.
Chapter 9 presents some of the characteristics of the humanistic/dual-humanistic approach to personal development, focusing on the formation of a strong, humane and complete personality.
Chapter 10 discusses the humanistic approach, especially through its dual-humanist valence, in community development, emphasizing how it, as philosophy, culture and politics, can contribute to the formation of a strong and humane/ solidary community, with the inclusion of the goals and values of personal development/fulfillment and the happiness of their members.
Regarding the usefulness and addressability of this edition, of this book, the design, content and bibliography are made in such a way as to be useful both to the academic community, to students and to teachers, and to the professional community, to psychotherapists, educators, managers, social workers, artists, medical practitioners, politicians, etc. The work being unique in its way because it brings together under the ”umbrella” of a humanistic approach the most important social & human sciences and practices, it is, of course, also addressed to readers interested in such a perspective.
Some of the most significant fragments/ ideas:
”The essence of the humanistic-ontological conception regarding the person/ the human personality is given by the idea that these are ontological products of some gradual and stadial processes held with the crucial contribution of the concrete/ contextual/ contingent socio-human, cultural and institutional factors where the person grows and lives. Very important are therefore the personal-human factors...”
”In our ontological-humanistic model of formation, beingness and functioning of the person/ personality - of the human being - we will speak, therefore, about characteristics, properties, processes, principles such as onto-formatization, persomization and promergence, emergence and imergence, transmergence and telegence, conmergence and sinmergence, about stages of evolution, formation, development, establishment of the personal ontological-psychological formations, of the person as a whole, such as of contact, of acquisition/ accumulation, of structuration/ centralization, of constitution/ holistization, of establishing/ networking, and finally of ontification/ fulfillment, and about ontological-subjective humane and spiritual experiences/ feelings that represent ”substances", motivational-energetical sources and resorts of forming of the personality/ person’s onto-formations and spheres...”
« La pensée philosophique, sociologique et culturelle post-postmoderne vient, entre autres, avec des solutions philosophico-paradigmatiques qui, sans mépris les paradigmes postmodernes, appellent à, demandent une réévaluation, dans l'ère cybernétique et de la mondialisation, des grandes valeurs universelles qui ont marquées l'histoire du monde, comme la famille, l'amour, la solidarité, l'altruisme, la coopération etc. Dans la théorie de la psychothérapie humaniste la personnalité du client est représentée/ reflétée dans une manière complexe et holistique, incorporant, par conséquent, des connaissances, des idées, des théories spécialement de la psychologie, mais aussi de la sociologie, la philosophie, l'anthropologie et d'autres sciences et domaines, développant, par conséquent, une perspective multidisciplinaire et interdisciplinaire. Cette approche de la personnalité du client, se concentre, spécialement, sur le développement personnel et l'adaptation sociale par l'utilisation des ressources psycho-volitives et adaptatives, mettant en évidence, donc, la dimension existentielle et adaptative, le bonheur, la liberté et la volonté de la personne, privilégiant traits de personnalité et qualités comme l’optimisme, l'énergie, le libre arbitre, la liberté, l'autonomie, la détermination, la réalisation de soi, l'espoir, l'activité, la conscience, la responsabilité, le développement personnel, l’adaptabilité sociale, l’assertivité, la résilience etc.La théorie spécifique du travail social humaniste tente d'assembler et d'organiser, épistémologiquement et méthodologiquement, la théorie et la méthodologie humaniste, plus ou moins assumée et/ou explicite, du travail social contemporain, dans un système épistémologique-doctrinal, fournissant à la fois un cadre théorique et méthodologique unitaire, et aussi, un forum pour le débat et l'innovation professionnelle ou scientifique.
