This is a practical handbook about and for people, who are experiencing various sorts of psychological, emotional and spiritual crises: spiritual emergence processes; Spiritual Emergencies; and, especially, is also for their carers, family members, and therapists. It is open-minded, pragmatic, occasionally humorous, well-researched, and is based on 40 years of personal, practical and professional experience in the field. As a compilation – written over many years, and covering many aspects of the field, both psychological and transpersonal – it is an absolute ‚must‘ for anyone going through one of these processes, or members of their friends or family.
This second 2024 edition, extensively revised and expanded, has been brought up-to-date with modern research and references.
