Spectrum of Psychotherapy from the perspective of Ken Wilber' s' Integral Theory
Rosendorfová, Johana ; Chrz, Vladimír (advisor) ; Tylš Adámková, Jana (referee)
In this theoretical thesis, I will first present my own condensation of the development of Ken Wilber's integral (structural-hierarchical) theory of the development of consciousness. In the second part, I compare Wilber's theory with psychodynamic theory, from which Wilber originally came. The main figure of comparison here will be Michael Washburn's concept of transpersonal development, which is anchored in a neo-Jungian approach. The comparison shows that one of the main distinguishing features of transpersonal theories is the topic of pre/trans fallacy and the location of the U-turn, i.e. the approach to the nature of the process of regression in personality development. In the last key part, I reflect on the possibilities of connecting the integral theory with psychotherapy and show that it is a theory that allows us to think systematically about psychological issues and psychotherapy directions. When analyzing the levels of consciousness of the integral theory, it turns out that the transitions between individual levels are points of a possible crisis of self. Psychotherapy can offer support and guidance, which can be specifically focused on the pitfalls in a given fulcrum. KEYWORDS integral theory, pre/trans fallacy, regression, development of consciousness, transpersonal psychology, psychotherapy

A comparison of transpersonal theories of consciousness development with regard to the psychedelic experience
Koubková, Daniela ; Chrz, Vladimír (advisor) ; Adámková, Jana (referee)
This theoretical thesis is focused on mapping and comparing the leading psychological transpersonal approaches to the conception of development of consciousness of an individual. This research is exploring the theory of Ken Wilber, Michael Washburn and Stanislav Grof also paying attention to the main disagreement among them regarding the confusion of prepersonal and transpersonal spheres of consciousness. This disagreement is further elaborated in an effort to find a conclusion and to seek for an integrative theory. The theories are compared with regard to the findings about psychedelic experience. The psychedelic experience is psychologically elaborated with emphasis on the current scientific knowledge in the field and their embedding in the context of the developmental theories of consciousness taking the effort of unravelling the pre/trans fallacy and the clinical implications into account. KEYWORDS Developmental theory, consciousness, transpersonal, psychedelics, pre/trans fallacy
