Summary/Abstract: The article presents a model based on the theory of positive disintegration by Kazimierz Dabrowski, illustrating the mechanism of constructing the life goals of socially maladjusted adolescents (inter- nal, external and concerning self-realization ) through psychological development of a person. The disintegrating factors of the subject's organizational structure (experienced autotelic relations), which condition the maturation of the subject's structures, are responsible for the developmental change, the integrating factors are the activities of the person aimed at "mastering oneself " (self- awareness, self-development, self-realization, self-fulfillment). According to the theory of self-de- termination, the individual feels three universal needs: autonomy, competence (proficiency, under- stood as efficiency and effectiveness) and relationships with other people (community). In Dabrowski's theory, a person through their development strives for individual and social essence, which I interpret as individual good, and through communality (i.e., support participation) as so- cial good. The proper formation of life goals is the path to well-being and positive social function- ing.
