This article provides an overview of Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga Psychology (IYP), with a focus on relevance to clinical practice. After summarizing recent developments in integrative medicine that have brought transpersonal themes into the mainstream of contemporary healthcare, the transformational paradigm of IYP is used to articulate a spiritually-informed approach to psychology and psychiatry. Topics covered include the soul (psychic being), reincarnation, the chakra system, psychodynamic therapy, ego defenses, positive psychology, CBT, AA, parapsychology, and mind-body medicine. The possession model of illness is addressed in detail, using both case material and the author’s own experience, and is compared to Jung’s method of working with the shadow. Finally, a range of real world issues are discussed, including cross-cultural considerations, the structure of healthcare systems, the stigma of mental illness, and psychopharmacology.

Psychiatric Problems

In recent years there has been a wide interest in the cross-cultural aspects of mental illness. Information concerning incidence, symptomatology and attitudes towards mental illness in the developing countries may contribute to the understanding of psychological processes and psychiatric problems. Kline (1963) reported a number of surveys of psychiatry in non-Western countries. One of these surveys was conducted in Kuwait, which is culturally and geographically intimately related to Iraq. This study aims at adding to Kline's data by providing information about various facets of psychiatry in Iraq. The present data were collected through interviews with a number of practising psychiatrists and through reference to hospital statistics and other relevant literature, in addition to the authors' clinical experience.
