Gradually, during the 1960s, the term "transpersonal" was associated with a distinct school of psychology within the humanistic psychology movement. In 1969, Abraham Maslow, Stanislav Grof and Anthony Sutich were among the initiators behind the publication of the first issue of the "Journal of Transpersonal Psychology", the leading academic journal in the field. During the next decade significant establishments took place under the banner of transpersonal psychology. The "Association for Transpersonal Psychology" was established in 1972. An international initiative, "The International Transpersonal Psychology Association", was founded by Stanislav Grof, and held its first conference in Iceland in 1973. This was soon to be followed by the founding of the "Institute of Transpersonal Psychology", a graduate training center, in 1975 . The institute was founded by Robert Frager and James Fadiman in response to the academic climate of the 1970s, and included transpersonal and spiritual approaches to psychology. Soon other institutions, with transpersonal psychology programs, followed. Among these were Saybrook Graduate School, the California Institute of Asian Studies (now California Institute of Integral Studies), JFK University, and Naropa.
