Social Cognition And The Allure Of The Second-Person Perspective: In Defense Of Empathy And Simulation, Karsten R. Stueber
Social Cognition And The Allure Of The Second-Person Perspective: In Defense Of Empathy And Simulation, Karsten R. Stueber
Philosophy Faculty Scholarship
This essay serves as an evaluation of challenges to the orthodox way of conceiving "mindreading" abilities by defending a 2006 claim by the author that those abilities involve basic and reenactive empathy .

Connecting The Spiritual And Emotional Intelligences: Confirming An Intelligence Criterion And Assessing The Role Of Empathy, David B. King, Constance A. Mara, Teresa L. Decicco
Connecting The Spiritual And Emotional Intelligences: Confirming An Intelligence Criterion And Assessing The Role Of Empathy, David B. King, Constance A. Mara, Teresa L. Decicco
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
A viable model and self-report measure of spiritual intelligence were previously proposed
and supported by King and DeCicco (2009). Despite such advances, evidence is needed
demonstrating significant associations with other intelligences. The current study sought to
test this criterion in relation to emotional intelligence. Among a sample of 420 Canadian
adults, results demonstrated significant associations between spiritual intelligence and two
self-report measures of emotional intelligence. Due to the suggestion by some theorists
that empathy be included in a model of spiritual intelligence, associations with empathy
were also investigated. Results bode well for the inclusion of a spiritual ability set in …
Trauma And Transformative Passage, Reed A. Morrison Private Practice
Trauma And Transformative Passage, Reed A. Morrison Private Practice
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
The strategic introduction of stressors to intentionally produce targeted psychological states
has a long history among indigenous peoples. Rites of passage ceremonies commonly involve
subjecting individuals to controlled violence to attain desired transformative outcomes. In
this context, violence is held to be sacred and generative, ritually introducing distress in
the service of loosening orientation and preparing the individual for spiritual advancement
and the acquisition of a new identity. Traditional ritual initiation ceremonies are typically
tripartite and characterized by stages of Separation, Ordeal, and Return. This article suggests
that accounts of the experiences of initiates in Separation and Ordeal stages bear …

Transpersonal Psychology, Parapsychology, And Neurobiology: Clarifying Their Relations, Douglas A. Macdonald, Harris L. Friedman
Transpersonal Psychology, Parapsychology, And Neurobiology: Clarifying Their Relations, Douglas A. Macdonald, Harris L. Friedman
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Neurobiological advances have resulted in growing interest in many psychological phenomena
heretofore resistant to scientific scrutiny, including within transpersonal psychology and
parapsychology. These advances perhaps can resolve longstanding tensions between these
two psychological subdisciplines, which have generally been treated as disparate. To
implement such a rapprochement requires more than just additional empirical findings,
as theoretical development is also needed. Consequently, we identify some important
theoretical problems, such as conventional assumptions about scientific naturalism and
materialism that potentially undermine substantive advances in further understanding
such phenomena through neurobiology. We also discuss links between parapsychology and
transpersonal psychology that can be forged …
Is The Reincarnation Hypothesis Advanced By Stevenson For Spontaneous Past-Life Experiences Relevant For The Understanding Of The Ontology Of Past-Life Phenomena?, Sergei Slavoutski
Is The Reincarnation Hypothesis Advanced By Stevenson For Spontaneous Past-Life Experiences Relevant For The Understanding Of The Ontology Of Past-Life Phenomena?, Sergei Slavoutski
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
A significant volume of scientific evidence, uncovered by reincarnation research in the last
50 years, supports the reincarnation hypothesis advanced by Ian Stevenson for spontaneous
past-life experiences (PLEs). However, at this time this evidence cannot provide an
unquestionable proof of the existence of past-life phenomena, nor can it assert that
reincarnation is not possible. This paper suggests that the reincarnation hypothesis, being
reasonably parsimonious and relatively exhaustive, may provide a plausible explanation for
spontaneous PLEs. Also, based on the probability of the same ontology of spontaneous and
hypnotic PLEs, it may be argued that this hypothesis might also be relevant …
Psychoactive Substances And Paranormal Phenomena: A Comprehensive Review, David Luke
Psychoactive Substances And Paranormal Phenomena: A Comprehensive Review, David Luke
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This paper investigates the relationship between psychoactive substances and so-called paranormal
phenomena falling within the study of parapsychology. It is primarily concerned with extrasensory
perception (ESP)—telepathy, precognition, and clairvoyance—as well as out-of-body experiences
(OBEs) and near-death experiences (NDEs). Psychokinesis (PK), aura vision, encounter experiences,
and sleep paralysis only make a very limited contribution to this review as they are seldom related
to psychoactive drugs within the parapsychological literature. The paper borrows widely, but by no
means exhaustively, from parapsychology as well as transpersonal studies, anthropology, ethnobotany,
phytochemistry, psychiatry, psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and neurobiology, particularly
neurochemistry. It is organized into neurochemical models …
The Wounded Healer: Finding Meaning In Suffering, Garret B. Wyner
The Wounded Healer: Finding Meaning In Suffering, Garret B. Wyner
Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses
In modern history, no event has more profoundly symbolized suffering than the Holocaust. This novel “Husserlian-realist” phenomenological dissertation elucidates the meaning of existential trauma through an interdisciplinary and psychologically integrative vantage point. I use the testimony of a select group of Holocaust witnesses who committed suicide decades after that event as a lens to examine what their despair may reveal about an unprecedented existential, moral, and spiritual crisis of humanity that threatens to undermine our faith in human history and reality itself. By distinguishing what they actually saw about our condition from what they merely believed about reality, I show …
The Origin Of A Sense Of Self In Women, Kimberly Dewing Robbins
The Origin Of A Sense Of Self In Women, Kimberly Dewing Robbins
Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses
This phenomenological study focuses on how a strong sense of self in women changes social precepts and gender stereotypes empowering women to define themselves instead of being defined by society. A sense of self may be defined as the ability to distinguish one’s own values from those of any outside persuasions, and to do so well enough to be able to protect those ideals from unwanted external influence. Is a sense of self, realized at a young age, an innate feeling or developed over time through adversity and the maturation process? This study will specifically look at what influences can …

The Scale For Existential Thinking, Blake A. Allan, Branton Shearer
The Scale For Existential Thinking, Blake A. Allan, Branton Shearer
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This study introduced the construct of existential thinking, which we defined as the tendency
to explore the fundamental concerns of human existence and the capacity to engage in a
meaning-making process that locates oneself in respect to these issues. We also assessed
the psychometric properties of the 11-item “Scale for Existential Thinking” (SET). In two
studies, we found the SET to have unidimensional factor structure and good reliability
diagnostics in both student and adult samples. Moreover, the SET showed construct validity
by correlating with meaning in life, curiosity, and other existential variables. Furthermore,
we found meaning in life to mediate …
Spirituality And The Mmpi-2 Restructured Clinical Scales, Diana M. Mendez, Douglas A. Macdonald
Spirituality And The Mmpi-2 Restructured Clinical Scales, Diana M. Mendez, Douglas A. Macdonald
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
The present investigation examined the relation between spirituality, measured by the
Expressions of Spirituality Inventory (ESI; MacDonald, 2000); and the Minnesota
Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Clinical (MMPI-2 RC) scales (Tellegen et
al., 2003) using data from a previously published study (i.e., MacDonald & Holland, 2003).
Zero-order, multiple, and partial correlations were calculated to explore the association.
All multiple correlations, wherein the five ESI dimensions were used collectively to predict
MMPI-2 RC scales, emerged significant for all MMPI-2 RC scales. For zero-order correlations,
all RC scales were found to have a significant relation with at least one ESI dimension.

Mental Health And The Paranormal, Simon Dein
Mental Health And The Paranormal, Simon Dein
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
To date, there has been a dearth of work examining the relationships between paranormal
experiences and mental health. After defining paranormal experience and its prevalence,
I examine a number of areas related to paranormal experience and psychopathology: psi
and the unconscious, dissociation and fantasy proneness, schizotypy, transliminality and
reality monitoring, child abuse, reasoning and information processing, and transpersonal
psychology. Finally, I discuss the clinical implications of these findings.
How Should Therapists Respond To Client Accounts Of Out-Of-Body Experience?, Alexander De Foe
How Should Therapists Respond To Client Accounts Of Out-Of-Body Experience?, Alexander De Foe
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
During an out-of-body experience (OBE) a person experiences their center of consciousness
from a spatial location that is distinctly different to their physical body. Prior research has
suggested that psychologists and psychotherapists may be reluctant to discuss the content
of their clients OBE accounts due to a lack of understanding about the nature of these
experiences. Yet, other research has highlighted the substantial value of discussing OBEs
in the therapeutic process. This paper examines the literature in order to assess the value of
utilizing person-centered dialogue and guided visualisation as counselling approaches for
working with clients who have had OBEs.
