Besides giving students the opportunity to integrate academic rigor with experiential learning, the program fosters collaborative learning through group dialogue and participation. In addition students will have the opportunity to apply these principles of transpersonal psychology to specific activities, such as research, counseling, education, wellness, administration, as well as religious, spiritual, and other helping professions. As with each of ITP's degree programs, the Ph.D. in Psychology will help students develop competencies in three inter-related areas of learning: Academic: Each student will develop an advanced knowledge of transpersonal psychology, including a mastery of the theoretical and philosophical foundations of the field, as well as a mastery of research, critical evaluation, and creative contribution to the field in the context of psychology and related disciplines. Professional: Students will be expected to develop the skills, abilities, and attitudes required to apply transpersonal principles to specific activities of human endeavor, such as education, research, counseling, administration, wellness, spiritual concerns, human development, social needs, and helping professions. Students will pay special attention to how these skills, abilities, and attitudes can be specifically applied to those areas that are most closely related to their present or planned professional work. Personal: In keeping with ITP's philosophy, this program focuses on the blending of the academic and experiential aspects of learning, and encourages students to integrate the teachings of transpersonal psychology into their lives. In particular each student is encouraged and supported to cultivate a balanced integration of the values, attitudes, and practices involved in transpersonal development, such as mindfulness, compassion, discernment, and appreciation of differences. The cultivation of these psycho-spiritual characteristics is integral to ITP's whole-person learning model. View more details on Institute of Transpersonal Psychology .
