The book structures its argument through an “integrality” foundation, an account of the psychic center and contemporary core wounding, and an evolutionary vision of health. It then applies these ideas to psychotherapy as behavior change via karma yoga, mindfulness practice via jnana yoga, and heart opening via bhakti yoga, including guidance for balancing right brain, left brain, and soul, plus supporting philosophical and spiritual emergency appendices.","Integral Psychology  \nYoga, Growth, and Opening the Heart  \nBrant Cortright  \nINTEGRAL PSYCHOLOGY  \nSUNY series in Transpersonal and Humanistic Psychology Richard D.

Paul Herman first invited me to co-teach a course on Integral Psychology with him some 20 years ago, which eventually evolved into a course I currently teach yearly at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Paul’s support atan early phase of my involvement in integral yoga was important to my continuing to work in this field. I am eternally grateful for this early collaboration.  \nMany colleagues, friends, and former students have read chapters of this manuscript and provided both critical feedback and encouragement. Among these are Michael Kahn, Robert McDermott, Brendan Collins, Bahman Shirazi, Richard Stein, Bryan Wittine, Paul Linn, Olga Louchakova, Matthijs Cornelissen, Neeltje Huppes, Ananda Reddy, Aster Patel, Uma Silbey, Kathleen Wall, and Nicolo Santilli. Mytrae Meliana read the entire manuscript and gave invaluable feedback that greatly enhanced the final result.  \nThe staff at SUNY Press has been extremely helpful and highly professional. I want to thank Jane Bunker, Editor-in-Chief, for her guidance in this project and Michael Haggett for his precise and helpful editing.  \nI am deeply grateful to all.","cbCaisK7VxlcRUBF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisK7VxlcRUBF","pdf",1559581,2,1,244,"English","en",105,"# Acknowledgments\n# Introduction\n# Part 1: Integral Psychology\n## Integral Psychology\n## Our Psychic Center\n## The Core Wounding of Our Time\n## An Evolutionary Vision of Health\n# Part 2: Integral Psychotherapy\n## Psychotherapy As Behavior Change: Karma Yoga\n## Psychotherapy As Mindfulness Practice: Jnana Yoga\n## Psychotherapy As Opening the Heart: Bhakti Yoga\n## Designing Psychotherapy for the Right Brain, the Left Brain, and the Soul\n# Appendix A.
