Transpersonal Psychology developed from earlier branches of psychology and is known as the forth force of psychology. The first was Behaviourism, (Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936), the second was Psychoanalytic - Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), the third was Humanistic - Carl Rogers (1902-1987) and the forth is Transpersonal- Abraham Maslow (1908-1970).

Abraham Maslow was the main representative of this new field of and transpersonal psychology in response to what he saw as the limitations of behaviourism and psychoanalysis.

Transpersonal Psychology is a department of

the British Psychological Society:

Human beings frequently have ‘transpersonal’ experiences in which our awareness expands and intensifies.

Sometimes these occur spontaneously, in the midst of every activities and situations, and outside the context of religion or spirituality.

Transpersonal psychology investigates spiritual practices and experiences, researching their value and their relationship to the models and concepts of psychology.

The definition of 'Transpersonal' means 'beyond the self'.
