A critique of transpersonal and integral philosophy and psychology with the focus on the systems of Wilber, Washburn and Grof, and an outline of the Dzogchen path to definitive true sanity. This book presents what the author calls a philosophy and psychology of Awakening. Volume I contains the introduction and the essential concepts and summary of transpersonal/integral philosophy and psychology, and of the philosophy and psychology of Awakening he has produced as a reply, in order to clarify the Path of Awakening, the essence of true mental health, and the structure and function of psychotherapy. Professor Capriles brings to his contribution to transpersonal psychology a formidable level of insight born of his intensive involvement with Buddhism. These volumes exemplify precisely the direction in which I for one would like to see transpersonal psychology grow: Capriles articulates profoundly innovative ideas about the nature of mind and transformational processes.
