Product Description
This volume presents various perspectives on altered states of consciousness and mental health - a young but evolving field - and places them within the boundaries of cross-cultural psychology.
The first part of the volume considers important theoretical and methodological issues in the study of altered states of consciousness; the second and third parts link altered states of consciousness and mental health by focusing on both its therapeutic and pathological aspects. The final section concentrates on models highlighting a variety of paradigms and diverse methodological approaches, thus providing a substantive basis for a broad, multi-faceted framework for the study of altered states of consciousness and mental health.
