▣ 2.1 Introduction.
Acquiring Dąbrowski’s original works has always presented a challenge. One of my primary objectives is to enhance accessibility to the source materials, thereby enabling individuals to assess how the theory may apply to them and encouraging researchers to delve into and comprehend the theory. I consider myself lucky to have received all of Dr. Dąbrowski’s English books and around two-thirds of his Polish titles. However, there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of obtaining and digitizing his Polish articles.
Bibliography on my webpage, I’ve endeavored to compile a precise bibliography of Dabrowski’s works in APA format. As more accurate information is gathered corrections are made.
Online (2.3): I have converted the major English books into HTML files and made them available for review or download. They have been optimized for viewing on cell phones.
Download (2.4): I have provided the Dąbrowski material for download in two ways. Firstly, as a single folder containing files named according to the APA format (by authorship and date). Secondly, by category, with separate folders for books and articles. In addition, the download contains some 1000 articles and books pertaining to the theory of positive disintegration, all of the available information about past Dąbrowski congresses, a large photo file, and other material. Altogether, the download is some 8 GB.
