Synopsis

Transpersonal Psychology concerns the study of those states and processes in which people experience a deeper sense of who they are, or a greater sense of connectedness with others, with nature, or the spiritual dimension. Pioneered by respected researchers such as Jung, Maslow and Tart, it has nonetheless struggled to find recognition among mainstream scientists. Now that is starting to change. Dr. Michael Daniels teaches the subject as part of a broadly-based psychology curriculum, and this book brings together the fruits of his studies over recent years. It will be of special value to students, and its accessible style will appeal also to all who are interested in the spiritual dimension of human experience. The book includes a detailed 38-page glossary of terms and detailed indexes.

About this title

Review:

"This is a splendid book, ranging widely across the whole spectrum of Transpersonal Psychology. It will surely become a standard text and do much to render Transpersonal Psychology readily accessible to all those who wish to understand this profoundly important area of study."

Author: Professor David Fontana, Foundation Chair British Psychological Society, Transpersonal Psychology Section

"Michael Daniels has written a book that is certain to become a landmark in the development of Transpersonal Psychology. He not only surveys the current state of the discipline with great lucidity, but also addresses with considerable insight some of its most challenging and topical issues."

Author: Les Lancaster, Professor of Transpersonal Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University

"Shadow, Self, Spirit is one of the best-written and most comprehensive books on transpersonal psychology that I have come across."

Author: Louis Hoffman Source: PsycCRITIQUES (APA Review of Books)

"Michael Daniels has succeeded in writing a thoroughly mulled mead hoping to inform if not enliven a sophisticated reader's appreciation of so-called mysticism."

Author: A.P. Bober Source: Metapsychology

"Daniels covers a wide variety of subjects, ranging from holism and integration to Maslow's advocacy of self-actualisation, transcendence, and modes of mystical experience ... Daniels's [book] can be enjoyed chapter by independent chapter."
