Abstract

POP or Process Work has its roots in physics, Jungian Psychology, and Taoism. This is a non-pathological, relational approach to learning about our selves and our experiences. Observation is a foundational aspect of this work; the therapist tracks the process of the client and supports the process asas it unfolds. The dreambody is another essential piece of this work. There are several books by Mindell that describe this concep are several books by Mindell that describe this concept. One explanation is the dreambodyis the 'psychophysical process which is trying to dream itself so to speak, into being.' The article also briefly explains the concept of quantum mind and gives an example of Process work that is experiential. The focus of this modality is on awareness, because it is through awareness that one can observe the path of psychological and physical processes that make clear the issues that people deal with personally and socially. Rather than having a fixed way of working with each individual, or an ideal image c what it is to be healthy, this modality is interested in assisting individuals in following their own process, the process that their dreambody is urging them toward.
