“…But, was it welcome? Sutich (1961) described the situation as follows:A group of interested and dedicated individuals have carried on a protracted struggle to open up new areas central to the whole field of psychology, often against opposition that seemed insurmountable. It was not only in America .…”

“…Qualitative methods would be necessary for a psychology that would insist on taking irreducible subjectivity seriously in the establishment of a revised understanding both human existence and objective reality at large (Sutich, 1961). As van Kaam (1961) put it, “A truly humanistic psychology is an integration of the historical and contemporary data and theories of psychology.…”

“…As already noted above, the new metapsychological reorientation demanded a new approach to research, one that would include qualitative methods designed to access this new terrain. But more generally, a reorientation toward the totality of the experiencing-behaving organism turned the humanistic psychologist toward the study of human capacities and potentialities that had “no systematic place in positivistic, behavioristic, or classical psychoanalytic psychologies” (Sutich, 1961). Interest turned to fundamental and diverse human needs, aspects of both human and individual uniqueness, the meanings embedded in the emotional life of persons, future time perspective, psychological health, the contemporary crises of meaninglessness, loneliness, and alienation, and many other topics.…”

“…Humanistic psychology took the notion of ego-transcendence as necessary for the objectivity needed to accomplish its integrative scientific aims (Sutich, 1961). Alongside this scientific aspiration, human life in general was reconceptualized as an ongoing process of relating and growing through living encounters with the whole of the natural world.…”

This article presents a textual analysis of the inaugural issue of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology. The analysis culminated in the creation of a composite narrative that expresses the character of the humanistic vision for psychological science, a historical snapshot of the evolving humanistic revolution circa 1961. The analysis showed humanistic psychology to have proposed a nonreactionary, inclusive, integrative approach to psychology. This approach was anchored in a radicalized image of humanity, one that would not rely wholly on theories and methods of research designed for nonhuman beings. The findings further indicate that, from its inception, humanistic psychology was envisioned to be a unique amalgam of what would today be considered cultural psychology, cognitive psychology, and developmental psychology, without being reducible to any one of these subfields. It was and remains an effort in earnest to do justice to a truer self, engaged in the process of becoming, operating within biological and cultural parameters.

).Over the last few decades, the transpersonal approach has emerged from mainstream psychology to address the effects of spirituality and consciousness on personal transformation and health and to explore the optimal levels of human functioning. Despite its increasing popularity, many mental health professionals lack basic knowledge of the transpersonal approach. This article provides an introduction to and overview of the historical development, scientific basis, philosophical stance, theoretical principles, and clinical methods of transpersonal psychology. F or more than 25 years, increasing numbers of mental health practitioners have been using a therapeutic approach associated with a school of psychology known as transpersonal psychology. Transpersonal psychology was called the Fourth Force psychology by Abraham Maslow in 1968. It has emerged from mainstream psychology and religious studies as the branch of psychology that studies states of consciousness, identity, spiritual growth, and levels of human functioning beyond those commonly accepted as healthy and normal (the beyond emphasis is a key, distinguishing characteristic of transpersonalism). Although transpersonal psychology has been in existence since the late 1960s, many mental health professionals do not fully understand its philosophy, theoretical principles, and the clinical methods that distinguish transpersonal psychology from other major psychotherapeutic schools.Transpersonal psychology draws heavily on the traditional psychological principles and techniques of First Force (psychoanalytic), Second Force (behavioral), and Third Force (humanistic) psychologies while attempting to expand these areas to include the study of transpersonal experiences. Transpersonal experiences involve the expansion of consciousness beyond the usual limits of ego and personality, and beyond the conventional limitations of space and time.Transpersonalism is more than a model of personality. Transpersonal theorists consider personality as only one aspect of our total identity and not even the central facet of our total psychological nature. To view transpersonal psychology
