Books and videos like "The Secret," The Law of Attraction, and The Power of Intention have started to bring these teachings (and their many benefits) to the mainstream. We all consist of mind, body, and spirit so how can we treat one and ignore the others.

I think this is a wonderful way to go about therapy. How do I find someone who is trained in this type of psyhotherapy in my area? One note, though. Isn't it a little presumptuous to state that transpersonal psychotherapy is the "future norm ini psychology?" I also read a book in high school by Aldous Huxley, but I can't remember what it is. Maybe something futuristic? Any ideas? My favorite part of this type of psychotherapy is “the recognition of divinity within.” I think this is a wonderful way to go about therapy.

It is so refreshing and inspiring to look at what makes a full human rather than discecting what makes a broken human. I also feel that this sort of therapy is perhaps a shift towards a more Eastern way of thinking. Seeing religious experiences, states of consciousness, and therapy as being related to one another is a shift from the compartmentalization I feel often exists in Western culture.

In times gone by when women weren't acknowledged as great thinkers and doers, we can certainly learn a wealth of information from those whowere not only recognized as such, but whose thoughts and deeds were actually recorded.
