Taylor & Francis Introduction to Transpersonal Psychology
Book SynopsisIntroduction to Transpersonal Psychology: Bridging Spirit and Science provides an accessible and engaging introduction to this complex and evolving field. Adopting a modular approach, the book systematically relates key themes of Transpersonal Psychology to three major areas within psychology: general psychology, experimental psychology, and clinical psychology. Covering a wide range of topics including transpersonal states of consciousness, biological foundations, research methods, and cognition, the book also features extensive discussion of transpersonal theorists and the impact of their work on our understanding of psychological concepts. The book also introduces contemporary developments in the field and anticipates future advances such as feminist perspectives and cross-cultural approaches alongside practical experiments designed to give transpersonal theories and concepts psychological roots. A critical evaluation of both mainstream and transpersonal theories and research is applied throughout to foster analytical skills and encourage critical and scientific thinking about humanityâs nature as spiritual creatures and ways to educate for personal and social transformation. Accompanied by an online instructorâs manual, this book will be an essential companion for all students of Transpersonal or Humanistic Psychology, or those interested in applying transpersonal ideas to mainstream psychological research. Trade Review"This book is a landmark event for transpersonal psychology. The field now has its own textbook, and a superb one at that. The book is clearly the culmination of a life’s work of exploration, contemplation, study, and teaching. The scholarship is prodigious, yet the style is lucid and readable. This is a magnificent contribution: an accessible text for students, a rich resource for the field, and a resource to keep returning to. If I could recommend only one transpersonal book for the library of transpersonal psychologists, it would probably be this one."Roger Walsh, Professor of psychiatry, philosophy, and anthropology at the University of California at Irvine.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1 Scope and Outline 18 Variety of Transpersonal Orientations 37 Contemporary Perspectives 54 Modern History and Future Challenges 73 Transpersonal Psychology as a Human Science 92 Knowing, Speaking, and Creating 112 Consciousness: States and Traits 131 Biological Foundations 151 Motivation and Emotion 170 Development 189 Personality 208 Psychological Disorders 226 Psychotherapy 245 The Transpersonal Vision 265

Taylor & Francis Ltd Dark Cognition
Book Synopsis*Winner of the Parapsychological Association Book Award 2021*Outlining the scientific evidence behind psi research, Dark Cognition expertly reveals that such anomalous phenomena clearly exist, highlighting that the prevailing view of consciousness, purely as a phenomenon of the brain, fails to account for the empirical findings.David Vernon provides essential coverage of information and evidence for a variety of anomalous psi phenomena, calling for a paradigm shift in how we view consciousness: from seeing it as something solely reliant on the brain to something that is enigmatic, fundamental and all pervasive. The book examines the nature of psi research showing that, despite claims to the contrary, it is clearly a scientific endeavour. It explores evidence from telepathy and scopaesthesia, clairvoyance and remote viewing, precognition, psychokinesis, fields of consciousness, energy healing, out of body experiences, near-death experienceTrade Review"David Vernon’s book Dark Cognition is an impressive overview of research in parapsychology. There could be no better guide to the basic issues in this field and the scientific literature on these subjects. Not only does Vernon masterfully summarise and discuss what is known, but just as importantly, points out what is not known. The questions at the end of each chapter should lead to many thoughtful discussions. I strongly recommend this book."— Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, biologist and author of The Science Delusion."Dark Cognition is an accurate and comprehensive overview of the scientific evidence, scholarly debates, and implications of psychic phenomena. Anyone interested in this perennially fascinating and controversial topic will benefit by studying David Vernon's book."— Dean Radin, PhD, Chief Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences."Dark Cognition brings together some of the main research areas within the field of parapsychology. The book covers an interesting range of topics, addressing many issues with a seriousness and clarity that makes them accessible to the non-specialist. David Vernon makes a good job of showing how important these findings are for any theory of consciousness." —Renaud Evrard, Assistant Professor of Psychology, University of Lorraine and President of the Parapsychological Association."David Vernon’s book Dark Cognition is an impressive overview of research in parapsychology.

Hay House Inc Mirrors of Time
Book SynopsisThe benefits of regression therapy extend far beyond the clearing of symptoms. Often, the result is healing at all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Mirrors of Time, by Brian Weiss, M.D., allows you to take regression therapy to the next level. Now you can go back through time by recalling past events that may have led to difficulties in the present. Through the process of remembering, symptoms diminish, and a strong sense of relaxation and well-being often emerges. Even past-life memories can be elicited by these exercises, and regular practice will enhance your physical and emotional health and open up spiritual vistas that can bring new meaning to your life. An audio download is included that goes beyond meditation and visualization exercises—it contains the actual regression techniques Dr. Weiss uses with his patients. By reading Mirrors of Time and practicing the exercises on the accompanying audio, you’ll find that you’ll be filled with more peace, joy, and love—and virtually all aspects of your everyday life will benefit!

Peeters Publishers Western Esotericism and the Science of Religion
Book SynopsisThis volume is based upon papers read during the innovative section "Western Esotericism and the Science of Religion" organized at the 17th International Congress of the International Association for the History of Religions (IAHR) in Mexico City, August 5-12, 1995. The section was created in order to fill a long-standing hiatus in the academic study of religions: whereas phenomena such as gnosticism and hermetism in antiquity, and even the occult sciences of that period, have long been recognized as subjects worthy of serious investigation, the history of similar and related phenomena in more recent periods has hardly received the same measure of scholarly attention and recognition. The present volume is devoted to the academic emancipation of these areas as constituting a legitimate domain of research, which may be referred to by the generic label "western esotericism". Preceded by an introductory essay on the birth of this new discipline in the study of religion, the volume provides a sample of current research in the field and devotes special attention to some central methodological questions.
