Quantum Mind: The Edge Between Physics and Psychology

Arnold Mindell is the founder of a new school of therapy called Process-Oriented Psychology and is known throughout the world for his innovative synthesis of dreams, bodywork, Jungian therapy, group process, consciousness studies, shamanism, quantum physics, and small and large group conflict resolution. Quantum Mind is his radically ground breaking exploration of principles found in psychology, math, quantum physics, and shamanism. This comprehensive work ventures into that challenging junction, journeying through the universe on paths of reason and magic, math and myth, bringing together humanity's traditional wisdom and shamanism with contemporary science. Carl Jung predicted long ago that someday quantum physics and psychology will come together. This integration is the most fascinating aspect of the paradigm shift in science right now; however, until now only physicists have written about integrating psychology and physics, but psychologists have been quiet about it perhaps because physics still scares most psychologists. Finally, Arny Mindell, a famous psychologist, has come forward and what a treat his book QUANTUM MIND is. It is about many things you have wondered around this integration, and is so much more. And Mindell makes it all exciting especially when he explores the subject of dreams which is his specialty. If you are curious about science's most important paradigm shift, you will want to read this book and you will deepen your understanding. -- Amit Goswami, Author of "The Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material World" and "Quantum Creativity." Once again, Arny Mindell breaks new ground by bringing the world of quantum physics and psychology together. This is exciting and adventurous territory for anyone seeking wisdom. Quantum Mind provides a map to navigate this previously uncharted realm. Mindell, whose work has always been at the leading edge of psychology, demonstrates a mastery here that is a compelling read for all those willing to explore new possibilities. -- Michael Toms, co-founder "New Dimensions Radio" What Mindell accomplishes is breathtaking in its scope, and in its ability to communicate difficult ideas easily in a friendly teaching manner. Using his notes from the course taught for years to students of psychology, his experience as a therapist and physicist, and his clear writing ability makes this book a must-read for students and lay persons interested in the ever-growing field of depth psychology. Mindell sprinkles psychological exercises throughout the text providing the reader with imagined experiences of entering a black hole, appearing in parallel universes, taking the mind boggling quantum leap, and many, many others. It is at once a physics text, psychology text, and a friendly popular read. I highly recommend it. -- Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., author of "The New Alchemy," "The Spiritual Universe," "The Dreaming Universe," and the national book award winning "Taking the Quantum Leap."
