Given that
I spend about 14/day browsing the internet using my wonderful PC at a warp-speed
connection, I’ve come across this type of psychology few times and after some
digging I found few websites that explain what
this psychological area is, therefore I put here its definition:
Transpersonal psychology focuses on the spiritual side of human nature;
parapsychology is concerned with the paranormal, such as psychic phenomena,
including precognition, clairvoyance, near death experiences and
psychokinesis.
This is the
one I like best: T. P. is a type of psychology or
psychotherapy that focuses on altered states of consciousness and transcendent
experiences as a means to understanding the human mind and treating mental
disorders. Transpersonal psychology emphasizes meditation, prayer, and
self-transcendence
Now, since
every neuro (-psy or -logist) I've ever
seen or talked with is totally convinced that:
a) once the brain is injured, nothing new can ever be learned and once neurons are dead, so they remain forever
b) there’s no way that the brain can “repair”
itself in order to be again who you were before the injury
Somehow I
got curious about this branch of psychology that I’d never imagine it could be
of any interest to me.
In fact, when I was in NH, my wife Michele couldn’t stand my way of dealing with issues of any kind (maybe I’m
too self-confident.....) therefore we went to some "marriage counselor" who did nothing else than taking my money and my (precious)time from me, she did however increase my skepticism for psychology.
It’s no
wonder that I’m now imprisoned under a conservator because in several neuropsy. tests I couldn’t say what a pile of stones or a ball of cats remind of, or look like (couldn't say that those stones and cats looked like shit to me ...).
