The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology: An Orientation

As a major orientation in psychology, a transpersonal perspective connects contemporary educational, scientific, and clinical methods with personal, social, and spiritual understanding. It is concerned with full human awareness, the integration of psychological and spiritual experience, and the transcendence of self.

Since its founding the Journal has published sixty issues, including over three hundred articles by more than three hundred fifty authors. Articles are peer-reviewed.

Two issues are published per year. The subscription is "rolling," meaning that we'll send two annual issues beginning upon receipt of payment and NOT with the beginning of the Volume series. Agencies can receive 15% discounts for new orders & 10% discounts for renewals.

The Journal is Abstracted and/or Indexed in: Psychology Abstracts, International Bibliography of Periodical Literature, International Bibliography of Book Reviews, Mental Health Abstracts, Psychological Reader's Guide, Current Contents / Social & Behavioral Sciences, Social Sciences Citation Index, Contenta Relgionum

Historical Note

Transpersonal psychology was first announced and defined with the publication of The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, in 1969. Guided by the work of psychologists Abraham Maslow, Anthony Sutich and colleagues, this new field was founded on a commitment to open-ended inquiry, experiential and empirical validation, and a values-oriented approach to human experience.

In 1972 the Association for Transpersonal Psychology was established to encourage individual and group learning, cooperation among disciplines, research in theory and application, and the dissemination of information about the field.

Today, the Journal and the Association bring these approaches and purposes to thousands of interested individuals. As established non-profit services, both JTP and ATP continue to extend the transpersonal perspective world-wide.
