Abstract:
The influence of cognitive psychology with its more inclusive sister, cognitive science, is greatly felt in psychology as a whole and it certainly plays essential part in modern humanistic and transpersonal psychology as well. While the mainstream psychiatric practice is still waging the war against the troubled minds by mostly using psychoactive drugs, the cognitive science, in convergence with integrated humanistic and transpersonal psychotherapy elements, may already have a more humane and less intrusive and harmful solution for even the most severe mental and emotional disharmonies.
In the present paper basic perception and cognitive processes as per modern cognitive psychology are examined and active, as opposed to passive, perception is explored. The basic humanistic psychotherapy elements are outlined and the effectiveness of the transpersonal states of consciousness in psychotherapy is looked into. The general outline of the new psychotherapy Theta Cognitive Therapy® is presented and the potential of the Class II theta state of awareness is explored. Three case studies (unipolar depression; social isolation and suicidal tendencies; stage fright) from the Theta Cognitive Therapy® sessions are also briefly discussed.
Comments are welcome.

Abstract:
A general outline of transpersonal psychology is presented and the definition of the transpersonal itself is suggested. The differences between the transpersonal, paranormal or extrapersonal are considered and both the benefits and dangers of transpersonal experiences are discussed. Finally, the value of the transpersonal in daily life is addressed.
I have to admit, my professor was quite demanding. I had to work hard, especially with the re-writes. It was a solid challenge, no doubt.
My next course is cognitive psychology. I will be introducing the new psychotherapy, TCT.
