Transpersonal
Psychiatry incorporates the spiritual dimension of the person in its
approach. A generic model of spirituality and its relation to
traditional psychotherapy will be presented. An experiential group
and discussion of attendees’ experiences will demonstrate the
method. We will discuss how this enhances and differs from
traditional group psychotherapy.
