Increasing numbers of people involved in personal transformation are experiencing spiritual emergencies - crises when the process of growth and change becomes chaotic and overwhelming. Unfortunately, much of modern psychiatry has failed to distinguish these episodes from mental illness.

When understood and treated in a supportive manner, spiritual emergencies can become gateways to higher levels of functioning and new ways of being.
