'This book is broadly based upon material from the Fourth Annual Merlin Conference, held in London in 1989. The theme of the Conference was the relationship between spiritual traditions and psychology--the book develops this further....My role as editor, therefore, has been to find a collection of unusual and, wherever possible, diverse contributors.' --p.ix
