Introduction to the Essentials of Process Oriented Psychology: A 1986 Interview with Arnold Mindell

In this interview, which took place in Zürich, Switzerland in 1986, Dr. Grady Gray interviews Dr. Arnold Mindell about his development of Process oriented Psychology (Process Work). It is, possibly, the earliest video-recorded interview with Arny about his earliest ideas describing this new form of psychology. The interview is a far-ranging discussion about process work theory, practice, philosophy, science, and the future of psychology.
