If you are not a transpersonal psychologist now, you will be after exploring this handbook. No longer can one dismiss the range of topics confronted by transpersonal psychologists nor demand methodological restraints that refuse to confront the realities transpersonal psychologists explore. This is a marvelous handbook--critical, expansive, and like much of what transpersonal psychologists study, sublime.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eRalph W. Hood Jr., University of Tennessee, Chattanooga\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith contributions from more than fifty scholars, this is the most inclusive resource yet published on transpersonal psychology, which advocates a rounded approach to human well-being, integrating ancient beliefs and modern knowledge. Proponents view the field as encompassing Jungian principles, psychotherapeutic techniques such as Holotropic Breathwork, and the meditative practices found in Hinduism and Buddhism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlongside the core commentary on transpersonal theories--including holotropic states; science, with chapters on neurobiology and psychometrics; and relevance to feminism or concepts of social justice--the volume includes sections describing transpersonal experiences, accounts of differing approaches to healing, wellness, and personal development, and material addressing the emerging field of transpersonal studies. Chapters on shamanism and psychedelic therapies evoke the multifarious interests of the transpersonal psychology community. The result is a richly flavored distillation of the underlying principles and active ingredients in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHARRIS L.
