The Integral Ego provides a plausible account
of the operation of the human psyche. The author distinguishes
eclectic therapy which "simply accumulates therapeutic
interventions" as if on a tool belt, whereas integral
therapy organizes interventions into a systematic and
interrelated clinical practice related to the underlying
structure of the whole person. The author achieves an
impressive synthesis of heretofore disparate accounts
of the whole person into an "owner's manual of the human
psyche" which would be useful for every human being to
understand.
After
decades of neglect, spirituality is being taken seriously
by an increasing number of psychotherapists and clinicians.
For me its main contribution is its suggested resolution
of the Ego and the Ultimate. Those who read this book
will never think or feel the same about God, Reality,
or Self again.
