Abstract

This work presents a new and important paradigm modification in psychology that attempts to incorporate ideas from quantum and postmodern culture. Quantum psychology is a psychology of consciousness and experience and is reflective of the entire process of being. Thus it is a holistic, dynamic, and synergistic model, designed to augment the classical model. It involves non-linear as well as linear models of description, with non-linearity having an association with intuitive and irrational thought. Quantum psychology represents an emergent system of understanding a consciousness that has been exposed to the complex and accelerating effects of a postmodern culture.
