Spotlight on Integral Psychology
ITP is one of the few accredited institutions in the world that offers a broad range of Masters and Ph.D. level courses in various fields related to Transpersonal Psychology. The theories and writings of Ken Wilber, which has evolved into the field of Integral Psychology is one such area of study. In each spring semester of 2001 and 2002, a course was offered involving a trip to Ken Wilber's house. The following is from the syllabus of that course.
