5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Map, February 26, 2001
By 
George Ochsenfeld (Monee, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Ego and the Dynamic Ground: A Transpersonal Theory of Human Development (Paperback)
This is the best book on transpersonal psychology I've ever read. It does not require huge metaphysical leaps of faith. The explanations of the difficulties on the spiritual path related toreconnecting to the Dynamic Ground are nothing short of brilliant. It puts mystical experiences, Jungian psychology, and spiritual development into a clear, coherent model which makes perfect sense. I've used Washburn's model in a university level course I've taught on transpersonal psychology and have started a Washburn study group with my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars return to the depths, June 3, 2000
This review is from: The Ego and the Dynamic Ground: A Transpersonal Theory of Human Development (Paperback)
Whatever may be said about the technicality of the alternatives offered here to the usual transpersonal paradigms, Washburn does a fine job of recogizing that our vitality as awakening beings isn't only to be found on the heights of spirit; it also lives in the vales, in the lowlands and places of origin. The problem with verticality worship is that "enlightenment" becomes a goal by which one transcends everything, leaps over everything, instead of working through unresolved conflicts and lingering vulnerabilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wahsburn is the Transpersonal Theorist of record, January 15, 1998
By 
Cash Mundy (Bison Forks, TX, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ego and the Dynamic Ground: A Transpersonal Theory of Human Development (Paperback)
Integrated the work of Jung, Neumann and Grof with extensive noteworthy material from diverse fields of investigation. Developed a concise model which accommodates and extends the prior work. Continued the development of a multidimensional view of psychosocial structures and motifs as elaborations of underlying fundamental properties of consciousness. His explication of the structure and development of consciousness is the clearest and most concise that I am aware of, and fits best with my own experimental data. The best roadmap available for those who choose to stray from the herd. Summaries of his Transpersonal perspective and research interests are available.
