Review

Drs. Kaklauskas, Clements, Hocoy, and Hoffman have pulled together an impressive display of talented Transpersonal Psychology writers who present the complexities of the theory and practice in a way that the reader can readily understand and grasp.The writings are applicable for numerous issues, conditions, and settings and will be a valuable resource that will enhance the teaching, learning, research, and practice in the field. ~Nina W. Brown, Ed.D, LPC, NCC, FAGPA Professor and Eminent Scholar
These volumes bring transpersonal psychology into a more contemporary era and expand its application into new approaches for healing and growth. It is a pleasure to see new thinking that extends the seminal insights of transpersonal psychology into such areas as social action, diversity, and inequality, to connect the inner with the outer world, and to locate personal transformation in a context of social transformation, indeed as the most powerful form of social action. This is a much needed contribution to the field. ~Brant Cortright, PhD Author of Psychotherapy and Spirit: Theory and Practice in Transpersonal Psychotherapy Professor of Psychology, California Institute of Integral Studies
