Therapeutic individualism and the collective group

The individual finds his place in the group where he lives as an individual within the group. To encourage innovation and avoid stagnation society needs to be able to distinguish the deviations of individuals as creative or destructive, while giving individual freedom and opportunity to develop creatively within the group.

It was a kind of renunciation of social responsibility for modern psychologists and philosophers to center only or mainly on therapeutic individualism, as well as being a misreading of human nature. It has once again been affirmed by the great sociobiologist E. O. Wilson that human ethics were mainly selected out of group selection, which also drives individual selection. For example, altruistic groups competed more successfully than groups containing too many self-serving individuals.

We need philosophers, psychologists and theologians who affirm real human nature. Specifically what we need is evolutionary therapy regarding the recognition of the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood which activates life to Godhood, and life is then shaped by outside evolution. Personal and social psychology needs to address this divine path, which does not reject individualism but sees the individual rising along with the group, and the group rising along with a world of groups.
