The Humanistic Psychologist February 1, 1992
Abstract A history of humanistic and transpersonal psychology is presented as a backdrop to examining both the weak and the strong points of transpersonal psychology proper. On the negative side, transpersonal psychology can be faulted for being philosophically naive, poorly financed, at times almost anti‐intellectual, and frequently overrated as far as its influences. On the plus side, it...
Leibowitz or God's Absence February 1, 1992 Stephen R. Setterberg
● Consciousness (‘the mind’) and brain states (‘the body’) can seem to be two very different things. Your consciousness has some particular feel (i.e., phenomenal properties). But your brain states seem not to. Similarly, your brain is located in some region of spacetime. But where exactly, one might ask, is the bearer of consciousness? ● On the other hand, consciousness and brain states...

Most reported near-death experiences include profound feelings of peace, joy, and cosmic unity. Less familiar are the reports following close brushes with death of experiences that are partially or entirely unpleasant, frightening, or frankly hellish. While little is known about the antecedents or aftereffects of these distressing experiences, there appear to be three distinct types, involving...

In this paper I compare the phenomenology of near-death experiences to that of multiple personality disorder. The comparison reveals a number of similarities, including out-of-body experiences, the transcendental environment, encounter with the higher self, possible temporal lobe involvement, and antecedent child abuse. Rather than being disparate and unrelated experiences, I suggest that the...

Article exploring the theory that contemporary belief that near-death experiences (NDEs) are glimpses of an afterlife may prevent us from realizing their more profound nature. Belief in an afterlife has not historically brought humanity a high quality of life, but NDEs seem reliably to do so, and may offer important clues about why the expanded vitality, the "eternity-consciousness," of the...

The status of sensory stimulation as a clinical procedure is still in some doubt. Recent papers have shown no significant clinical changes as a result of sensory intervention but this may be due to an inappropriate model on which these procedures were based. This paper outlines the results of a controlled pilot study, based on a sensory regulation model currently being tested at the Casa Colina...
