Altered States of Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychology

Transpersonal psychology is the study of human nature that begins with the assumption that humans have potentials that go beyond the limits of their ego and integrate spiritual experience into a broader understanding of the human psyche and consciousness. Altered states of consciousness have been used as psychotherapy in transpersonal to help individuals for self-exploration and self-analysis and proposed by many psychologists during the last decades as a way to explore the human psyche and provide a better understanding of the human mind.
