"The decisive question for man is:  Is he related to something infinite or not.  That is the telling question of his life."

Encounters in the Therapeutic Process is a collection of thought-provoking, optimistic, and sometimes tragic stories affirming that there are transpersonal presences that participate in the relationship between psychotherapist and patient. Relating incidents gleaned from 16 years as a practicing psychotherapist, Dr. Gunn presents these stories with singular insight, sensitivity, and respect for those helpful presences beyond ordinary awareness who join the therapeutic relationship. Whether these autonomous personalities with whom he spoke are angels, or spirit guides, or a consciousness beyond ordinary, waking consciousness readers must judge for themselves.  However the reader answers this question, these stories emphasize that psychotherapy may constellate and host the spiritual factor, the autonomous and wise observers present at the deepest level of the human personality or beyond.

For therapist and layperson alike, Encounters offers a unique look into the core of personality and psychic events that color the soul and season the meaning of our ordinary lives.
