INTEGRAL YOGA PSYCHOLOGY is a new attempt to position the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother within the frame of yoga psychology, as an inquiry related to transpersonal and whole person psychologies. This book contains eleven essays by leading scholar-practitioners of integral yoga, sketching its possibility-space as a psychology. It attempts this through a hermeneutics of the texts of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, as well as their own and their disciples’ practices and experiences. It also makes a beginning at locating the field in its larger contexts, through comparative, qualitative and empirical studies, as well as probing the clinical possibilities of its models.
