The Role of Science in Transpersonal Psychology

Friedman wrote:

"Anoyone claiming to be an applied psychologists would be seen as having at least some scientific background and training when claiming that title, even if not possessing actual expertise".

Friedman, have criticized the Transpersonal Psychology for being underdeveloped as a field of science, placing it at the intersection between a broader domain of transpersonal inquiry, which includes some unscientific approaches, and the scientific discipline of psychology.

Transpersonal psychology has been noted for undervaluing quantitative methods as a tool for improving our knowledge of spiritual and transpersonal categories. This may be a consequence of a general orientation within the field that regards spiritual and transpersonal experience to be categories that defy conceptualization and quantification, and thereby not well suited for conventional scientific inquiry.
