Psychology (Classical Greek: psyche = "soul" or "mind", logos = "study of") is an academic and applied field involving the study of behavior and its relationship to the mind and brain.
Psychology differs from sociology, anthropology, economics, and political science, in part, by studying the behaviour of individuals (alone or in groups) rather than the behavior of the groups or aggregates themselves.
Psychology differs from biology and neuroscience in that it is primarily concerned with the overall behavior of a system, and not simply the pattern of neural responses produced by the system.

 Integral Transformative Practice: A Participatory Perspecive, by Jorge Ferrer
Integral growth is a developmental process in which all human dimensions — body, instincts, heart, mind, and consciousness — collaboratively and co-creatively participate as equals in the multidimensional unfolding of the human being.
Integral practice fosters the autonomous maturation of all human dimensions, preparing them to manifest their own intelligence, to be harmoniously integrated, and to co-creatively participate in the developmental process.
In a process of integral growth, therefore, it may be fundamental to heal this conflictive sediment and reconnect with the creative essence of the dark energy.

 Sri Aurobindo's Psychology
Psychology as a discipline in itself did not appear until the late 19th century, whereas wisdom traditions go back much further, and in this respect Aurobindo, whilst of the 20th century, follows the perennial philosophy.
Most of his psychology seems to employ instead Neoplatonic, Theonian, Theosophical, and generic Western Psycho-analytical (the concept of the subconscious) concepts, although he is very critical of the limitations of the latter.
Central to his psychology and yoga is the concept of a two-parameters series of levels of being - a "vertical" series consiting of Physical, Vital, and Mental, and a concentric or inner series that includes the subliminal and the psychic being (Divine Soul).

 Ken Wilber Online: Preface to Integral Psychology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Sometime in sixteen century Germany, "psyche" was coupled with "logos"--word or study--to form "psychology," the study of the soul or spirit as it appears in humans.
Modern psychology has indeed assumed a really scientific character, and may keep aloof from all metaphysical controversy." [1] This Dr. Fechner, I presumed, had saved psychology from contamination by soul or spirit, and had happily reduced the mind to measurable empirical doo-dads, thus ushering in the era of truly scientific psychology.
Fechner's approach to psychology was thus a type of integral approach: he wished to use empirical and scientific measurement, not to deny soul and spirit, but to help elucidate them.

Psychology is a science-or, at least, an attempt at science-and, as such, involves more than just logic and appeals to aspects of consciousness that have long been granted legitimacy in non-scientific fields.
Wilber's "system of psychology" could not be adequately subjected to empirical analysis because it is simply not quantifiable and relies too heavily on unobservables and posited structures.
"The roots of modern psychology lie in spiritual traditions, precisely because the psyche itself is plugged into spiritual sources." As a branch of his Integral Studies, Wilber reviews the history of psychology and establishes his Integral Psychology as, of course, necessarily a developmental one.
