English to Portuguese: What is transpersonal psychology General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - English A central purpose of the transpersonal psychology movement is to develop the spiritual aspect, taking into consideration, as Maslow had hoped, the needs of humanity rather than egocentric needs, and bringing values and hope, expanding the capacity for love and for reverence toward life.
The existential and humanistic schools of psychology are essentially concerned with ways of integrating the body and the psyche with a view to creating a total organism. Wilber chose the term centaur to refer to this approach. The Centaur was a creature in Greek mythology with the head, arms and torso of a human being, and the lower body and legs of a horse - a creature that can also be seen as symbolic of mental and physical unity. Therapists working within this field, deliberately seek to involve the body in the therapy and believe that the failure to do so i some of the main reasons why forms of therapy based purely on dialogue, such as psychoanalysis, prove unsuccessful.
Transpersonal psychology not only deals with the individual’s mental processes and the development of his potential but also with the collective psyche, trying to understand the deeper causes of the planet’s crises, the origins of which are to be found in the state of unawareness of modern man.
The suffering produced by human immaturity and unwareness needs a healing praxis that includes the development of inner potentialities and the evolution of consciousness beyond the limits of the ordinary ego toward the transpersonal consciousness; in this state, perception widens to encompass the relations between individual and universal life.
Transpersonal psychology, particularly through Ken Wilber's work, stresses the importance of an integral frame of reference, capable to recognise the complementarity of the approaches of psychology and wisdom and meditative traditions, and to address a wide spectrum of scientific and social circles.
For the planet's life to last, the main emphasis must be placed on education and the preparation of future generations. To this end, as has been said by Roger Walsh, we need people of wisdom and maturity, who work with altruistic projects and objectives, not only to relieve suffering but also to awaken themselves and others" to the liberty and plenitude that is the natural condition of the essence of every human being.

A finalidade central do movimento de psicologia transpessoal é desenvolver o aspecto espiritual, levando em consideração, como Maslow esperava, as necessidades da humanidade, em vez deas necessidades egocêntricas, e trazendo valores e esperança, ampliando a capacidade de amor e de reverência diante da vida.
As escolas existenciais da psicologia humanista são essencialmente preocupadas em como integrar corpo e psique, com vista à criação de um organismo total. Wilber escolheu o centauro como termo para se referir a esta abordagem. O Centauro era uma criatura da mitologia grega com a cabeça, braços e torso de um ser humano, e a parte inferior do corpo e as pernas de um cavalo - uma criatura que também pode ser vista como símbolo de unidade mental e física. Terapeutas que trabalham neste campo, deliberadamente procuram envolver o corpo na terapia e acreditam que a falta de fazê-lo é uma das principais razões pelas quais as formas de terapia baseada puramente no diálogo, como a psicanálise, se revelam infrutíferas.
A psicologia transpessoal não apenas lida com os processos mentais do indivíduo e do desenvolvimento de seu potencial, mas também com a psique colectiva, tentando entender as causas mais profundas das crises do planeta, cujas origens podem ser encontradas no estado de inconsciência do homem moderno.
O sofrimento produzido pela imaturidade humana precisa de uma cura que inclui o desenvolvimento de potencialidades internas e a evolução da consciência além dos limites do ego comum para a consciência transpessoal; neste estado, a percepção se alarga para abranger as relações entre indivíduo e vida universal.
