%X In the current study, we address the
therapeutic components and the effectiveness of integrative psychiatry with
transpersonal regression therapy as</span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> alterna</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">tive and
complementary medicine. The treatment of a man with therapy-resistant</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> bipolar disorder was successful with this approach. The process in which the
therapist analyses the issues found by the patient in cultural explanations
like reincarnation, curse and spirit possession is described. During the
therapeutic </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">sessions, different
subpersonalities manifested and negotiation with these subpersonalities
succeeded in integrating them or removing them from the mainstream</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> personality of the patient resulting in</span><span style=\"color:red;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">his transformation.
