Transformation of consciousness

Description
Book Introduction
A fresh perspective on psychotherapy and the growth and transformation of consciousness presented by Ken Wilber and Harvard Medical School's leading experts in psychiatry and meditation.
This book is a specialized general education book on psychotherapy and 'the growth, change, and transformation of consciousness' through a psychiatric approach and a meditation/contemplative approach, co-written by Ken Wilber, the first author and a leading scholar in the field of integrated consciousness research and integrated thought today and admired by numerous intellectuals in the field around the world, along with Jack Engler and Daniel Brown, scholars in the field of psychiatry and meditation at Harvard Medical School.
In short, this book deeply covers the stage-by-stage growth and development of human consciousness and self, as well as disorders/pathologies and treatment methods according to modern Western traditional psychiatry and self-developmental psychology, based on the theory and practice of the spectrum model of developmental pathology and treatment.
On the other hand, it covers the psychotherapeutic functions of modern meditation/contemplation, which are mainly derived from traditional Eastern wisdom, its side effects and pathology, and the myth of step-by-step development to the transpersonal (self-transcendent) level through meditation, and furthermore, it includes an in-depth psychological scientific examination of the step-by-step development of meditation practice, while deeply examining integrated psychotherapy, meditation and psychotherapy, and the developmental transformation of self-transcendent consciousness.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this book is almost the only specialized general education and professional book on the integrative development, pathology, and treatment of the entire spectrum of human consciousness and self, meditation and psychotherapy, developmental disorders of meditation, and the developmental stages of meditation.

Publisher's Review
The first half of this book focuses on the problems of self-representation and identity disorders in psychotherapy and meditation related to the development of the self according to the full spectrum model of consciousness, the problem of the comorbidity of meditation with psychiatric developmental pathology, and meditation and psychotherapy related to Ken Wilber's integrative psychological integrated psychotherapy theory model.
On the other hand, in the latter part, in order to study the validity of the cross-cultural developmental stage theory centered on mindfulness meditation/insight meditation, based on case studies and the Rorschach test for reference groups, the book systematically presents the cross-cultural developmental stages of meditation centered on mindfulness meditation/insight meditation and the developmental diagram of meditation practice/training in modern psychology that synthesizes them, based on the results of in-depth psychological scientific research that proves the theory that meditation has several developmental stages.
Therefore, this book is an invaluable professional resource for professionals in related fields who are applying or interested in meditation practice for mental health, psychological counseling, psychotherapy, and consciousness practice/training, whether it be traditional wisdom meditation or a modern meditation branching from it.
In particular, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to properly understand the developmental disorders and performance of meditation for the correct application of modern psychiatric psychopathology, self-developmental psychotherapy, transpersonal psychotherapy, and meditation, and who wants to clearly understand the developmental 'transformation of consciousness' through meditation as well as meditation and psychotherapy.
