Transpersonal psychologists see the school as a companion to other schools of psychology that include [[psychoanalysis]], [[behaviorism]], and [[humanistic psychology]].

Although [[Carl Jung]] and others have explored aspects of the spiritual and transpersonal in their work,  transpersonal psychology for the most part has been overlooked by psychologists who are focused on the personal and developmental aspects of the human psyche.
