Claudio Naranjo, M.D. studied medicine, music and some philosophy in Chile, where he also was a resident at the University of Chile Psychiatric Clinic under Matte Blanco, taught psychology of art at the Catholic University and social psychiatry at the School of Journalism, University of Chile and came to be director of the Center for Studies in Medical Anthropology.

After coming to live in the United States, Dr. Naranjo was among the staff of the early Esalen Institute where he became one of the three successors to Fritz Perls. Later his life's pilgrimage brought him in contact with various spiritual masters including Swami Muktananda, Idries Shah, Oscar Ichazo, Suleyman Dede, HH the XVIth Karmapa and, most decisevely, Tarthang Tulku Rimpoche. He has taught comparitive religion at the California Institute of Asian Studies, humanistic psychology at the University of California in Santa Cruz, meditation at Nyingma Institute in Berkeley, California and was founder of SAT Institute, an integrative psycho-spiritual school.

Dr. Naranjo is considered one of the pioneers of the Human Potential Movement and his introduction of "Fourth Way" ideas to psychotherapy is an instance of his work as an integrator at the interphase between psychotherapy and the spiritual traditions. He is published widely in Spanish, Portugese and German and has 13 titles in English. His use of the Enneagram is a structure through which spiritual teachers can help their students transcend the limitations of their conditioning. In the short history of the enneagram, Dr. Naranjo stands out as the authority on subject.

The works presented here include a wide variety of subject matters - from myth to music and homeopathy to the study of the ennneagram. More information can be obtained by calling 1-800-869-0658.
