PSYC 8009 - Transpersonal Foundations of Psychology

(4 Lecture Hours 0 Lab Hours 4 Credit Hours)

This course represents one of the program’s fundamental approaches to the study of consciousness and society. It provides a theoretical and experiential foundation in transpersonal psychology. Western psychology often focuses on the individual person as a single, separate, extrinsically existing entity in relation to others. Transpersonal psychology challenges this assumption, effectively returning to psychology’s original meaning as the study (or revealing) of soul or spirit.
