  • Dr. Didi Firman Transpersonal Orientation Article THE
    Dr. Didi Firman Transpersonal Orientation Article THE TRANSPERSONAL DIMENSION Defining transpersonal as simply that which goes beyond the individual or personal, it could be hypothesized that all counselors are, at least in part, transpersonal in their orientation. Vaughan noted that transpersonal psychology is “an open-ended endeavor to facilitate human growth and expand awareness beyond limits implied by most traditional Western models of mental health ”. Transpersonal psychology becomes then, a holistic perspective, focusing on the whole spectrum of human experience, with an eye towards holding a wider view, one that sees spiritual issues with equal relevance to personality and family of origin issues. PURPOSE, MEANING AND VALUES Psychosynthesis concerns itself with the arena of the transpersonal, first and foremost, through an ongoing consideration of meaning, purpose and values in the individual’s life. STAGES OF PSYCHOSYNTHESIS Where psychosynthesis begins to show its transpersonal colors is in the ‘last’ stage of work. Firman and Gila (2002) note that these stages “describe how we may then become conscious of, and respond to, the deeper motivations and meanings in our lives, the source of which is termed the Self ” Assagioli (2000) referred to these stages as “Realization of One’s True Self” and “psychosynthesis ” (pp.21-23). BI-FOCAL VISION Key here is the counselor’s ability to see with wide vision, what is called bifocal vision in psychosynthesis (Whitmore, 2004). Bifocal vision invites the practitioner to see the client through the lens of that client’s presenting issues, diagnoses or problems, while at the same time seeing that person as a soul in search of realization.

  • The Transpersonal William James
    THE TRANSPERSONAL WILLIAM JAMES Mark B. Ryan, Ph.D. Cholula, Puebla, Mexico ABSTRACT: Transpersonal psychologists often speculate on who was their ‘‘first’’ pioneer, commonly with reference to Carl Jung. A look at the early development of modern psychology, however, reveals various figures who accepted a spiritual and collective dimension of the psyche, among them William James. Out of a tension between scientific and religious outlooks embodied in his own life and thought, James had embraced and articulated the principal elements of a transpersonal orientation by the early twentieth century, and had given them a metaphysical and empirical justification on which they still can stand today. We can see those elements in four aspects of his thought: first, in what he chose to study, especially in his interest in psychic and religious experience; second, in his definition of true science and his refutation of materialism; third, in his concept of consciousness; and fourth, in his defense of the validity of spiritual experience. ‘‘100 Years of Transpersonal Psychology’’: the title and description of the Association for Transpersonal Psychology conference in September, 2006, represented a milestone in the official recognition of William James’s place in the origins of modern transpersonal thought. As the conference’s official announcement declared, James made the first recorded use of the term ‘‘transpersonal’’ in 1905. The conference’s title took its measure of a century from that coinage, suggesting a major role for James in the founding of the field. The occasion of James’s use of the term was modest: an unpublished document, merely a printed course syllabus at Harvard University for an introductorycourse in philosophy (Vich, 1998).

  • A Transpersonal Orientation: Psychosynthesis in the Counselor's
    A Transpersonal Orientation: Psychosynthesis in the Counselor’s Office* By Dorothy Firman, Ed.D. Introduction Defining transpersonal as simply that which goes beyond the individual or personal, it could be hypothesized that all counselors are, at least in part, transpersonal in their orientation. By and large Americans, in any profession, believe in God and in various other religious and spiritual perspectives (Harper, 2005). Given that this is the case, the transpersonal (or spiritual) dimension, is, almost inevitably, part of a counselor’s possible arena of concern. While it is important for counselors to orient themselves specifically towards areas of interest and expertise, it is also clear that broad knowledge and comfort in the widest possible area will serve both the counselor and client. It is therefore important that all counselors have a working knowledge of the transpersonal orientation in counseling and psychotherapy, simply to keep pace with their client’s concerns. It seems clear from the research, that counselors do, in fact, share an interest in and concern for the transpersonal dimension in their clinical work (Winston, 1990; Carlson, Kirkpatrick, Hecker, and Killmer, 2002). What is also likely to be true, is that counselors are not trained to work in that dimension nearly as thoroughly as they are trained, for instance, to work in family of origin issues. It is not surprising, at least historically, to find counselors dealing with spiritual or transpersonal issues with their clients, but not talking about that aspect of their work in supervision. And more often than not, there is little if any academic training in the transpersonal orientation in counseling and psychology (Shafranske and Malone, 1990).

  • Opening the Door to Creativity: a Psychosynthesis Approach
    Opening the door to creativity: A psychosynthesis approach Catherine Ann Lombard, M.A.1 and Dr. Barbara C. N. Müller2 Abstract Given the great importance of creativity in society, and in health psychology in particular, investigating how creativity can be enhanced is a valuable area of research. Interventions that enable individuals to become more creative vary from their focus on increasing divergent thinking to task reactivation during sleep. This article introduces psychosynthesis psychology as an additional theoretical and therapeutic approach for enhancing creativity through its concept that creativity originates from different levels of the unconscious. We show that the subpersonality model, one of the fundamental psychosynthesis techniques, is an effective intervention for aiding creative expression, as it helps people to connect to different levels of their unconscious creativity. It is assumed that through the use of this technique, clients are able to release and unblock energies that not only allow them to rebuild their personal identities, but also become actively creative in their daily lives. We support this assumption with qualitative findings that include testimonies from eleven clients in The Netherlands who received psychosynthesis counseling. In addition, qualitative data of a case study demonstrates subpersonality integration and its role in helping clients to become more creative in their personal and professional lives. The present paper is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to demonstrate the beneficial effects of using psychosynthesis to facilitate creativity. The framework of psychosynthesis psychology, its techniques (which include the subpersonality model), and its therapeutic approach, are viable methodologies for anyone searching to unblock and activate new creative energy and achieve personal and professional growth.

  • A Personal Overview*
    THE TRANSPERSONAL PERSPECTIVE: A PERSONAL OVERVIEW* Frances E. Vaughan Mill Valley, California I have come to understand the transpersonal perspective as a metaperspective that attempts to acknowledge and learn from all points of view. It is a perspective that does not seek to impose a new belief system or a new metaphysics, but rather to see the relationships between existing world views in order to envision transformational possibilities. Since integration 1969 the transpersonal perspective has emerged from an of integration of ancient wisdom and modern science. Clearly ancient science and mysticism need each other. Science needs the wisdom wisdom of mysticism and mysticism needs the power of and modern science. In this sense the transpersonal perspective sees the science Eastern spiritual disciplines and Western scientific ap­ proaches to psychology as complementary. It recognizes the transcendental unity of all religions and sees the unity in the mystical core of every spiritual tradition. The mystical teachings agree that the source of wisdom is within us. Each spiritual tradition has a different way of saying it. For example, in Christianity we are told that "the the source kingdom of God is within." In Buddhism, wisdom is in the of wisdom discovery of "our own true nature"; in Hinduism, it is in "Atrnan" realization; in transpersonal psychology, we speak of "the Self." Yet the source is always the same and we need access to this source of inner wisdom if we are to use science for the benefit of humanity, rather than for self­ destruction. Furthermore, there comes a time when we can *Adapted from a keynote presentation at the 7th Annual Conference.

  • Transpersonal Psychology in Context: Perspectives from Its Founders and Historians of American Psychology
    TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY IN CONTEXT: PERSPECTIVES FROM ITS FOUNDERS AND HISTORIANS OF AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGY Nicole Ruzek, Ph.D. Pomona, California ABSTRACT: This article provides a summary of perspectives regarding transpersonal psychol- ogy’s relationship to mainstream American psychology. Founders of transpersonal psychology and historians of American psychology addressed the following questions: (a) How well known is transpersonal psychology?, (b) Is transpersonal psychology considered a subdiscipline of American psychology?, (c) Can transpersonal psychology be described as the fourth force in American psychology?, (d) What impact has transpersonal psychology had in mainstream American psychology, and why?, and (e) How might transpersonal psychologists participate in the activities of mainstream American psychology today? INTRODUCTION On September 14, 1967 at a Unitarian church in San Francisco then-president of the American Psychological Association, Abraham Maslow, predicted the emergence of a ‘‘fourth force’’ in American psychology (Sutich, 1976). This force was inspired by social and political changes happening in the United States during the 1960s (Moss, 1999; Taylor, 1999). The civil rights, women’s and counterculture movements of the 1960s stemmed from a deep dissatisfac- tion with, and questioning of, the socially and politically conservative atmosphere of the 1950s. Through music, art, politics, and social experimen- tation, Americans protested the oppression of minorities, the use of military force in solving international conflicts, and the more subtly perceived social repression of disenfranchised youth (Goffman & Joy, 2004; Woods, 2005). Oppressed black, as well as privileged white, youth banded together to create a free and open society. Organizations like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) encouraged young people to exercise their rights as citizens of a democracy and express themselves through political activism and free speech.

For a few semesters, I watched her sit in the bacK of the room and doodle while I defined transpersonal psyCholoGy and Gave its history.

  • Transpersonal Psychology Represents a Fundamentally Different Model of the Consciousness
    The Transpersonal Model of the Psyche. Some implications for psychotherapy and psychiatry. Dr. Tim Read Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all around it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different. We may go through life without suspecting their existence, but apply the requisite stimulus, and at a touch they are there in all their completeness. William James, Varieties of religious experience. Introduction Transpersonal Psychology represents a fundamentally different model of the consciousness. It incorporates existing models of psychology and adds the perspectives gained by studies of the perennial philosophy and modern experiential schools. It represents a serious attempt to integrate the scientific and spiritual traditions. Traditional psychology sees the mind and consciousness as arising out of neuro-physiological processes and unable to exist independently of the living brain. Transpersonal psychology understands consciousness as not just a product of brain process but as independent of the brain. This is a seriously radical idea, perhaps of similar significance to the advent of quantum physics which totally revolutionized our understanding of the physical world and which found it to be so much more complex and difficult to understand than the more simple Newtonian model which had served for the previous few hundred years. According to the transpersonal model, the brain and the senses are the hardware through which consciousness can be expressed and experienced. Some of the software (or the operating system) comes from outside of the brain. Consciousness is not limited to the bony confines of the skull but is the stuff of the universe and is immanent in everything.
