Students have asked me how highly psychologists regard mind/body/spirit 
graduate programs.  For example, the Institute for Transpersonal Psychology 
offers a doctoral program in Clinical Psych and the student was told it would 
soon receive APA approval. This is a program touting mind/body/spiritual 
development.  I have mixed feelings about such  programs, but my understanding 
is that they are programs that represent the legacy of humanistic psych and 
promote a diversity of meditative and spiritual perspectives.   What advice 
would tipsters have for psych majors considering such graduate work?  Are there 
any dangers, problems, or limitations to this Psychology career path?  Are such 
programs        well-respected academically? Would  a holder of such a 
doctorate be a welcome addition to your department?    Searching in spirit,  
Gary
