PROCESS WORK

THE DISCIPLINE

A methodology that offers tools and attitudes to facilitate all types of human experience, both personal and collective, including the transformation of conflicts. The basic idea is that any conflict or symptom, psychological, social or physical, can be processed and transformed in order to learn a hidden message.

It is a humanistic and interdisciplinary approach for the development of awareness and change that draws on Jungian and Gestalt psychology, sociology, systems and communications theory, Taoist philosophy, indigenous knowledge and quantum physics.

THE ORIGINS

Process Work or Process-Oriented Psychology was developed over the last forty years by Arnold and Amy Mindell and their colleagues.

The model of Processwork was originally created by Dr Arnold Mindell, a physicist and Jungian psychologist, who noted that the patterns present in people’s nocturnal dreams were the same as those present in their body symptoms.

From this a method was developed with the observation of these patterns at the heart of it and tracked by noticing what we call ‘signals’ in Processwork, helping us to bring these personal and collective (cultural/historical/mythical) patterns in to our awareness where we can use them in our work with ourselves and each other – to get beneath the surface of our ordinary everyday understanding – in the service of transforming and enriching our relationship with ourselves, each other, and with the world around us. Processwork trains us to observe these signals, helping us to unfold them and to bring them in to awareness.
