Abstract
Transpersonal Psychology has been considered the fourth force in psychology, after behaviorism, psychoanalysis and thehumanist trend. It studies the states of consciousness and its application in health and education, and it understands humans as bio--psycho-social-spiritual beings. It integrates in practice many consecrated exercises used in Western and Eastern psychology. In the healthfield it has advanced due to research in the areas of neuroscience, meditation, extended states of conscience and the understandingof phenomenological states of enteogenous substances. In Brazil, Psychologist Vera Saldanha developed the Transpersonal integrativeapproach aiming at integrating harmonically neuropsychic functions such as reason, emotion, intuition and sensation in order to promotehuman evolution in clinical experience.
