Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 The Theory of Positive Disintegration TPD by Kazimierz Dabrowski describes a theory of Personality psychology personality and personality development . Unlike mainstream psychology, Dabrowski s theoretical framework views psychological tension, anxiety , and Depression mood depression as necessary for growth. The strongest potential for tensions that lead to advancement stem from mental overexcitabilities, above average reactions to stimuli. Also, unlike some other theories of development such as Erikson s stages of psychosocial development , it is not assumed that even a majority of people progress through all levels, which are not tied to ages. Overexcitabilities are sometimes used to help predict giftedness in both children and adults The more excited or the more stimulated a sense is in a person, the more susceptible or prone their brain is to react in an extreme manner to anything that triggers it, thus the possibilities of expansion in ways of learning are increased in this person.
