ABSTRACT
The point Wilber makes, however, is one which is often found in the standard texts: it is that the whole notion of the self changes with each of these transitions. Psychoanalysis is included in this column because classical Freudian psychoanalysis explicitly says that it is restricted to this level. The implication of this is that therapists, in their own training, need to have moved at least into column two before doing much work there, and preferably need to have moved into column three as well, if they are not going to be thrown by some spiritual emergency. Theoretical frameworks are not written in tablets of stone. And eclecticism is the incorporation from different systems of what might be of use in the counselling relationship.
