Given the demonstrated power of the therapeutic alliance in effective therapy and its larger-than-the-individuals-comprising-it (transpersonal) qualities, it is surprising that the client's contribution to the psychotherapeutic process has been largely overlooked in both conventional and transpersonal psychotherapy literatures. This study explores and expands the understanding of the client's contribution to psychotherapy, specifically transpersonally-oriented modalities that include the exploration of consciousness and induced altered states, by asking transpersonal practitioners, what is the role of the client in transpersonal psychotherapy? The study examined client traits, attitudes, and role demands in Jungian therapy, sandplay therapy, dream analysis, guided imagery, regression and hypnotherapy, nondual psychotherapy, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy as reported by 35 transpersonal psychotherapists and/or transpersonally-oriented practitioners using inductive or naturalistic thematic analysis. The results distinguish transpersonal therapy clients from conventional psychotherapy clients, indicating that the client role characteristics and behaviors are unavoidably more developed than those of conventional therapy clients by the very demands of the transpersonal modality-as are the demands on the therapist. For most, but not all, transpersonal modalities the therapeutic alliance is a peer relationship, with the client firmly in the driver's seat. The findings suggests that transpersonal psychotherapy may be adjunctive or complementary to conventional therapy, and that conventional therapy may only work for some clients up to a point. Finally, transpersonal modalities could be integrated into conventional therapy as an expansion of therapeutic exploration based on client need and therapist openness to trans-egoic dynamics.
