The beneficial effects of Transcendental Meditation (TM) on the psychology have been underestimated. Summarizes evidence indicating that conventional psychological tests are much too insensitive to make justice to the effects of TM. Observations based on other methods indicate that TM normalizes profound and very common psychological disturbances, that are inaccessible to therapy or very difficult to cure.

Stress tolerance improved in Air Force pilots. A sensitive test for selection of air force pilots found profound psychological improvements in one year of disturbances that would take over 20 years of psychoterapy to achieve.
The safety of the TM technique. Even people in pre-psychosis, the most delicate and unstable psychiatric condition, became stabilized through TM. This is just one example of evidence that demonstrate that TM is not only safe, but has also a favorable effect in psychological disturbances.
