Transpersonal Psychology occupies a very little known place in our country. Academic studies have neglected, for the moment, to include aspects related to the spiritual dimension of the human being in the professional training of psychologists, so that when psychological problems related to this area arise in clinical practice, the professional finds himself no theoretical framework or practical tools to address it. The same occurs with non-habitual states of consciousness, known as Modified States of Consciousness (CME). However, that does not mean that people who are with problems of this type, can request psychological help. Others do it to a spiritual master or a pseudo-professional. This article presents the general panorama offered by Transpersonal Psychology and the psychotherapeutic models derived from it, emphasizing the common and differentiating elements with respect to the Psychology of Religion, as well as the difficulties and deficiencies that they show. A concrete proposal is also made from the model of Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapy as well as an interpellation to academic and scientific institutions so that they do not stop including in their studies and research the aspects treated by Transpersonal Psychology.Downloads
