Transpersonal Psychology Among Western modern schools of psychology including psychotherapy (before the advent of NLP Transpersonal Psychology is the most interesting and promising. Three prominent transpersonal psychologists are Ken Wilber Charles Tart and Stanislav Grof The contribution and limitation of each of these transpersonal psychologists are summarised below in a very brief way: Ken Wilber Wilber 's introduction (or integration) of Eastern esoteric wisdom (above all, Vedanta' s model of the "five sheaths (=levels of consciousness)") into Western psychology is to be highly appreciated. His exposition of the spectrum of consciousness helps Western people to understand Eastern esotericism in a quite logical way. The basic concepts of his own model are not new in the strict sense of the word, but the very core of the long traditional Eastern wisdom. In the author's opinion, Wilber 's "The Atman's Project" is the first authentic (successful) attempt in the West to expound what enlightenment (or the Brahman/Atman identity ) is, in a purely logical way, i.e., an attempt to logically explain away what is beyond logic.

Study group discourse: How external representations affect collaborative conversation Back to list of papers Social explanation and computational simulation I explore a type of computational social simulation known as artificial societies. Artificial society simulations are dynamic models of real-world social phenomena. I explore the role that these simulations play in social explanation, by situating these simulations within contemporary philosophical work on explanation and on models. Many contemporary philosophers have argued that models provide causal explanations in science, and that models are necessary mediators between theory and data. I argue that artificial society simulations provide causal mechanistic explanations. I conclude that in their current form, these simulations are based on methodologically individualist assumptions that could limit their potential scope of social explanation. Download PDF Back to list of papers Improvised lessons: Collaborative discussion in the constructivist classroom Effective classroom discussion is improvisational, because its effectiveness derives from the fact that it is not scripted. Instead, the flow of the class is unpredictable, and emerges from the actions of both teachers and students. In this article, I apply principles from training classes for improvisational actors to provide practical suggestions for teachers. To identify the improvisation community's own views on creative collaboration, I draw on recent observations of rehearsals, performances, and improvisation training classes, and interviews with actors and directors. I conclude that teachers could become more effective discussion leaders by becoming aware of improvisational acting techniques, and I make a case for instructing teachers in improvisational exercises.

Modern physics screams at us that there is no ultimate material reality and that whatever it is we are describing, the human mind cannot be parted from it. —Roger Jones, Physics as Metaphor I f, as Colin Wilson says, most of history has been the history of crime, this is because humans have the ability to retreat from existential reality into that peculiar construct which they call The Real” Universe and I have been calling hypnosis. Any Platonic “Real” Universe is a model, an abstraction, which is comforting when we do not know what to do about the muddle of existential reality or ordinary experience. In this hypnosis, which is learned from others but then becomes self-induced, The “Real” Universe overwhelms us and large parts of existential, sensory-sensual experience are easily ignored, forgotten or repressed. The more totally we are hypnotized by The “Real” Universe, the more of existential experience we then edit out or blot out or blur into conformity with The “Real” Universe.

Rate this item Print Understanding the Psychology of Programming Contrary to popular belief, programmers more frequently resemble artists than scientists. If you want to maximize the creative potential on your development team, you've got to start thinking about the psychology of the programmer and be willing to back it up with management policy. by Bryan Dollery March 26, 2003 Writing code is an act of creativity. It isn't science and it isn't engineering, although programmers are happy to apply science and engineering to the creative process, when possible. Therefore to be a programmer one has to be highly creative. This is one of the reasons programmers are happier working on new projects rather than maintenance projects. It isn't just that they don't want to get buried in the filth of the past (although that's part of it); maintenance doesn't offer them the opportunity to create. "For original ideas to come about, you have to let them percolate under the level of consciousness, in a place where we have no way to make them obey our own desires or our own direction."

Here are two handouts that provide students guidelines for working on a semester-long creative project. I use this exercise in my course States of Consciousness , although it could be used in a variety of other psychology courses. Longer Projects Page States of Consciousness Syllabus TCP Home Page A Creative Project The creative project can be almost anything... The creative project for the course can be ANY creative work - writing, drawing, music, sculpture, photography, a scientific work, an innovation in sports... anything! If you get stuck in choosing a project, simply think about something you DO WELL, something that you find exciting to do. It is an activity that creates a state of consciousness that takes you out of your normal, everyday mode of thinking and perceiving. Humanists would say it has the potential to create a "peak experience" for you - something you can lose yourself in, something that enables you to express your ideas and feelings, that enhances your "self-actualization." Try to stretch yourself Try to pick a project in which you are stretching yourself - in other words, something that is relatively new to you, something that is at least slightly different than what you have tried before. This is especially important for people who often pursue creative activities. Try not to do just more of the same of what you are used to doing. Experiment, take some creative risks.

The Ninth Street Center Our Publications Homosexuality: The Psychology of the Creative Process [1971] by Paul Rosenfels Paul published the hardcover edition of his last book in 1971. Two years later, when the paperback edition appeared, he added a Foreword. In 1986, I wrote an Introduction which told his life story briefly as well as the early history of the Ninth Street Center. From Paul's 1973 Foreword: . . . There is a great deal more in homosexuality than a simple release of new levels of sexual permissiveness. True psychological mating is not only possible between individuals of the same sex, it is actually the rule in human interactions (whether sexual or not). How can two men, biologically alike, find a true difference between them through which mating can occur? The answer is simple but profound in its implications: through character specialization. What this book says in effect is that character specialization is dominant over biological identity, and that therefore two men (or two women) can have a masculine-feminine interaction which can lay the basis for a true romantic union, pregnant with possibilities for creative self-development. The concept of masculinity and femininity, used in this way, has nothing to do with conventional masculine and feminine roles in our society From my 1986 Introduction: The book you hold in your hand is a time bomb. Read it, and you risk overturning cherished assumptions about human nature and psychological growth. The author's ideas, while subtle, are infectious; their implications are likely to stay with you much longer than you expect. If the unexamined life seems to you the most prudent course in these difficult times, best to put this book down now and move along. . . .

Help Cognitive mechanisms underlying the creative process Gabora, Liane Cognitive mechanisms underlying the creative process . In Hewett, Thomas and Kavanagh, Terence , Eds. Proceedings Creativity and Cognition IV , pages Loughborough University, Loughborough UK Full text available as: HTML Abstract This paper proposes an explanation of the cognitive change that occurs as the creative process proceeds. During the initial, intuitive phase, each thought activates, and potentially retrieves information from, a large region containing many memory locations. Because of the distributed, content-addressable structure of memory, the diverse contents of these many locations merge to generate the next thought. Novel associations often result. As one focuses on an idea, the region searched and retrieved from narrows, such that the next thought is the product of fewer memory locations. This enables a shift from association-based to causation-based thinking, which facilitates the fine-tuning and manifestation of the creative work. Keywords: Associative hierarchy, bisociation, brainstorm, concepts, conjunction, context, creativity, defocused attention, distributed representation, emergent features, evaluation, focus, generativity, idea, impossibilist creativity, intuition, variable focus.

Contact Us U of T Magazine National Report Edge ... U of T Home Biological basis for creativity linked to mental illness Creative people more open to stimuli from environment by Jessica Whiteside Sept. 30, 2003 Psychologists from U of T and Harvard University have identified one of the biological bases of creativity The study in the September issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology says the brains of creative people appear to be more open to incoming stimuli from the surrounding environment. Other people's brains might shut out this same information through a process called "latent inhibition" - defined as an animal's unconscious capacity to ignore stimuli that experience has shown are irrelevant to its needs. Through psychological testing, the researchers showed that creative individuals are much more likely to have low levels of latent inhibition. "This means that creative individuals remain in contact with the extra information constantly streaming in from the environment," says co-author and U of T psychology professor

Psychology Interested in Psychology? Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. Its explorations range from the activity of individual brain cells to the complex interactions between individuals and society. The science of psychology investigates how people develop and learn, how we experience the world, how relationships are formed, how stress affects our health and impairs our performance, and why conflict is so much a part of the human experience. Psychologists also try to understand the nature and causes of abnormality and illness and search for effective treatments. Careers in Psychology Your career could involve investigating and treating psychological disorders; designing and organizing the workplace to improve productivity and morale; designing efficient, healthful interfaces between humans and machines; analyzing human relationships and how they can be made more fulfilling; or identifying and changing behaviors that lead to disease. There are numerous careers for psychologists in business, government agencies, and various health professions. In business, for example, you can choose from careers in human resource management, organization behavior, advertising or marketing. Bio-medical research or academics are also options.
