We excerpt from the back cover:
This newest book by George A. Boyd, MA collects his reflections and insights on the interface between psychology and meditation. He explains the different types of transpersonal psychologies, the levels of the mind, and how psychotherapy and hypnosis access these bands, and the different ways meditation can be used to augment psychotherapy.
George draws material from his website, and from previously unpublished writings on transpersonal psychology to provide a penetrating look into the unconscious and Superconscious bands of the mind. He uniquely brings insights gleaned from his study of the Great Continuum of Consciousness to illuminate how clients view their world from various spiritual perspectives, and how this influences their beliefs and behavior.
This is a book that will appeal to those professional therapists who have seen the anguish, pain, and depravity of the human soul, and bring their healing art to bear upon it. These therapists may seek other tools. and other perspectives, to help them assist their clients.
It is a book for therapists who think deeply, who seek to uproot the sources of emotional pain, and who want new approaches to deal with stubborn human problems that resist conventional interventions.
You will benefit from adding this book to your resource library, as it reveals many new potential techniques of meditation beyond the mindfulness practices to which psychotherapists have been exposed.
