A.R. Orage and Practical Psychosynthesis
In the years preceding 1920, one of gurdjieff’s pupils, A.R. Orage, had formed a group of practicing psychologists to study psychoanalysis from all sides. This group, which included Dr. Maurice Nicoll – one of Jung’s foremost exponents, reached the conclusion that the need in psychology was not psychoanalysis but psycho-synthesis. In 1920, P.D. Ouspensky, who had met Orage in 1914, arrived in London. Ouspensky talked with Orage about the ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff. These talks convinced Orage that a practical psychosynthesis was now in existence through the teaching of Gurdjieff.
