"The seemingly endless therapies found in modern psychology today are, in essence, by-products of this truncated discipline, which has shown itself unable to provide integrated modes of healing. " Sufi psychology could then be defined as 'the science of the transformations undergone by the spirit in its journey to God." [2]
He notes "A true postcolonial psychology or rather perennial psychology (see Bendeck Sotillos 2013a) would be grounded in an authentic metaphysical framework that reflects the diverse religious and spiritual traditions of humanity."[3]
