Abstract

This article attempts to present theoretical perspectives and related practical proposals with which to stimulate the development of wisdom by means of psychological interventions. So, can wisdom actually be learned? The answer to this question seems to depend largely on how the notion of wisdom is conceptualized. It turns out that the theoretical concepts of wisdom usually focus on defining the criteria of this complex disposition, and not on the possible paths of its acquisition. However, the author indicates and discusses three sources of inspiring practical proposals of wisdom enhancement. The first is Robert Sternberg?s educational project ?Teaching for Wisdom?; the second ? short-term interventions studies based on activation of wisdom related with knowledge through a system of appropriate access guidance and the third one ? so called wisdom therapy which offers special methods in order to stimulate patients to look at their life problems from new perspectives and use new problem solving strategies. The latter part of this article is devoted to the presentation of alternative techniques based on: mindfulness, cognitive reappraisal or internal dialogical activity, which can potentially optimize the development of wisdom.
