Transpersonal Research Methods for the Social Sciences: Honoring Human Experience

This book is an excellent resource for conducting transpersonal research. It's contents are clear, well-structured and comprehensive. This book has been much easier to understand and use than other books I have read on qualitative research methodologies.

During many times I red this amazing book. I think that this book is a landmark in development of methods to examine and experience the consciousness states. One of the most interesting aspects is to try apply this kind of knowledges to social dimension. Activity very well done. I recommend this book for psychologist, students and counsciousness researchers.

Anderson and Braud are no armchair researchers or theorists in the transpersonal field. They bring a much needed dimension to the field in terms of research. The vast majority of transpersonal leaders are either theorists who ground their theories on top of other theories or those with very weak research designs. Anderson and Braud take no sides but present ways for every human science researcher to improve their methods of inquiry. Not only is the book the best in the field, it provides many outside resources to phenomenological, heuristic, action, case study, ethnographic, meta-study, statistical, and integral inquiry. A super book.
