The question of whether transpersonal psychology should be considered one of a number of transpersonal disciplines appears to be answered affirmatively by Boucovolas. Boucovolas discusses how sociology, anthropology, business studies, law, art, acting and ecology may all gain benefits from a transpersonal focus. A 2005 edition of "Journal of Transpersonal Psychology" has discussed transpersonal aspects of cinema, suggesting grounds for a merge between media studies and transpersonal psychology]]. This journal includes a seminal paper by Gaylin (2005), arguing that the media is almost inherently transpersonal insofar as it involves addressing a wider community, therefore helping people to transcend their individuality. Gaylin also discusses how aspects of films can be transpersonal.
