Inclusive Psychology is an expanded and extended form of psychology that is inclusive and integrated in both its content and methods of inquiry. Some have suggested that there have been four major "forces" of psychology : psychoanalytic, behavioral/cognitive, humanistic, and transpersonal. Ken Wilber and others recently developed an integral psychology. Inclusive Psychology encompasses content and approaches from all five of these—retaining and honoring what seems most useful in each, applying what is most appropriate for the situation at hand, and not privileging any of the forms in a universal or absolute way. Although Inclusive Psychology addresses many of the more familiar and "conventional" forms of behavior and experience, this particular website emphasizes experiences having exceptional, transpersonal, transcendent, and spiritual qualities.
Inclusive Psychology's preferred research approach is integral inquiry, developed in 1992 by William Braud.
