Amongst the thinkers who are held to have set the stage for transpersonal studies are [[William James]], [[Sigmund Freud]], [[Otto Rank]], [[Carl Jung]], [[Abraham Maslow]], and [[Roberto Assagioli]] (Cowley & Derezotes, 1994; Miller, 1998; Davis, 2003). Research by Vich (1988) suggests that earliest usage of the term "transpersonal" can be found in lecture notes which William James had prepared for a semester at Harvard University in 1905-6. A major motivating factor behind the initiative to establish this school of psychology was [[Abraham Maslow]]'s already published work regarding human peak experiences. Maslow's work grew out of the humanistic movement of the 1960's, and gradually the term "transpersonal" was associated with a distinct school of psychology within the humanistic movement.

In 1969, [[Abraham Maslow]], [[Stanislav Grof]] and Anthony Sutich were the initiators behind the publication of the first issue of the ''Journal of Transpersonal Psychology'', the leading academic journal in the field. This was soon to be followed by the founding of the Association for Transpersonal Psychology (ATP) in 1972. In the 1980s and 90s the field developed through the works of such authors as [[Jean Houston]], [[Stanislav Grof]], [[Ken Wilber]], [[Michael Washburn]], Frances Vaughan, [[Roger Walsh]], [[Stanley Krippner]], [[Michael Murphy]], [[Charles Tart]], David Lukoff, Vasily Nalimov and Stuart Sovatsky. While Wilber has been considered an influential writer and theoretician in the field, he has since personally dissociated himself from the movement in favor of what he calls an [http://wilber.shambhala.com/html/books/kosmos/excerptA/notes-1.cfm ''integral''] approach.

Today transpersonal psychology also includes approaches to health, [[social sciences]] and practical arts. Transpersonal perspectives are also being applied to such diverse fields as [[psychology]], [[psychiatry]], [[anthropology]], [[sociology]], [[pharmacology]], cross-cultural studies (Scotton, Chinen and Battista, 1996; Davis, 2003) and social work (Cowley & Derezotes, 1994). Currently, transpersonal psychology, especially the schools of [[Carl Jung|Jungian]] and [[Archetypal psychology]], is integrated, at least to some extent, into many psychology departments in American and European Universities. Transpersonal therapies are also included in many therapeutic practices.
