English Italiano Print this page Integral Psychology and Opening the Heart

Integral psychology brings Hinduism and psychology together.

Psychotherapy and spirituality have the same goal: opening the heart. Both seek to expand the heart's capacity for feeling and love, but they proceed in very different ways. Spiritual traditions work to open the heart directly – through devotion, love, bhakti, positive emotions, and dis-identifying with negative emotions. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, works to open the heart by seeing how it is closed.

This workshop demonstrates an integral, psycho-spiritual process of opening the heart, which may be the most important task in today's world.

 

Brant Cortright, Ph.D., is a professor of psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. He is the author of Integral Psychology: Yoga, Growth, and Opening the Heart as well as Psychotherapy and Spirit (both SUNY Press), and he has a private practice in San Francisco.
