Transpersonal Education: Problems, Prospects and Challenges
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies January 1, 2006 Paul F. Cunningham 9 citations
Transpersonal psychology has not been fully integrated into traditional undergraduate psychology curricula due to conventional psychology's prejudiced view of humanity's spiritual nature, as well as internal issues within transpersonal psychology itself, such as a lack of agreed-upon curricular models, absence of normative student outcomes, unstructured courses with limited content, and conceptual and methodological disagreements among experts. A key challenge is the need for an authoritative, standard textbook to introduce undergraduates to the field and aid its integration into mainstream psychology.
