Transpersonal Psychotherapy and Counselling

The Transpersonal sets clearly on the map a huge area of work in psychotherapy and counselling which is inadequately treated in most of the existing training texts. Many therapists are alredy using transpersonal ideas in their work, but sometimes not realizing where they come from or much about their scope and limits. For the first time material from all the different sources that have contributed to our present understanding of this fascinating area are brought together in a single volume. John Rowan deals with the work of such pioneers as James, Jung, Assagioli, Grof and Maslow, and is particulary strong on the work of Ken Wilber. In looking at practice, he covers such exciting areas as dreams, active imagination, inner voices, visualization, near-death experiences, meditation, intuition, creativity and peak experiences, and examines the work of some twenty current practitioners. Finally he discusses criticisms of the transpersonal approach and looks at its future.Rowan, John is the author of 'Transpersonal Psychotherapy and Counselling', published 1993 under ISBN 9780415053624 and ISBN 0415053625.
