(<em>Key Figures<\/em>: Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen, Peter Levine, Pat Ogden, Bessel van der Kolk)<\/li><li><strong>Transpersonal Psychology<\/strong>: Integrates the spiritual dimension of human life, focusing on stages of consciousness beyond the ego and the integration of mystical or peak experiences into a grounded, whole sense of self.
