  Q Methodology and Quantum Theory
Now that quantum theory has reached popular levels, however, terms such as paradoxical, indeterminant, chaotic, and complementary are appearing with greater frequency and are in- creasingly nominated as descriptors of choice.
Beyond measurement, there is a "remarkable parallel" between quantum theory and Q methodology, which, were it not for measure- ment, would relegate Q to the rank of just another "striking analogy," as Bohr (1950) himself referred to psychology and the complementary relationship between thought and sentiment.
Uncertainty and Collapse of the Wave Packet The "striking parallel" between quantum theory and Q methodology is best illustrated in the context of a single-case study, as when one of the subjects from the previous factors is asked to operate with the same Q sample under multiple experimental condi- tions.

 Quantum Mechanics for Psychology and Sociology
The world that the first quantum mechanics uncovered was so alien to the way people expected it to be that the outcome of relatively simple experiments needed to be debated and defended not so much by math and diagrams but by means of an arsenal of parables, or thought-experiments as they called them.
The key difference between the situation of the quantum particle through both holes and the dead slash alive state of the cat is that the eventual outcome of the cat's state of flux will be confirmed by its appearance when the box opens.

 The Quantum Psychology Project®: Project Description   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Quantum Psychology is a class of science created and developed by Eddie Oshins in the mid-1970's.
The Quantum Psychology Project® originated with Eddie Oshins' reconciliation of arguments in the psychological literature concerning the nature of schizophrenia as a logical phenomenon.
Although distinct from the use by quantum physicists to describe the logic of physical observables of Schwinger's "nonselecting measurement algebra," von Weizsäcker's "temporal logic," and von Neumann's development of "quantum logic," certain similarities led Oshins to extend his psychological model into physics.

 HOLISTIC PHYSICS - OR - AN INTRODUCTION TO QUANTUM TANTRA
Likewise the quantum jump is not a real physical event but a mere bookkeeping procedure that corresponds to the sudden increase in the observer's knowledge that occurs in the act of measurement.
The quantum consciousness assumption, which amounts to a kind of "quantum animism" likewise asserts that consciousness is an integral part of the physical world, not an emergent property of special biological or computational systems.
Whether quantum tantra is the mind/body science of the future or a philosophical shaggy-dog story depends on whether the human mind really is the private insides of some quantum brain system (unknown) and on our ingenuity (untested) in constructing oblivious links that jumplessly join brain centers to outside matter systems.

 Quantum Physics, Depth Psychology, and Beyond by Thomas J. McFarlane
According to quantum physics, the state of an unobserved quantum of matter or light (such as an electron or photon) is represented by a solution to Schrödinger's wave equation.
Thus, when the quantum is unobserved, it is a nonlocal wave of probable positions; and when the quantum is observed, it is a particle having a definite localized position.
In a fundamental analysis of the quantum measurement process, John von Neumann argued that consciousness is required to explain the projection of the wave function from possibility to actuality.

 Quantum Psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You and Your World was written by Robert Anton Wilson and originally published in 1990.
Some consider Quantum Psychology a follow-up to Wilson's earlier volume Prometheus Rising, mainly for the presence of practical exercises to demonstrate its concepts at the end of each chapter (this time intended for groups rather than a lone reader).
It focuses primarily on the metaphysical and epistemological problems of Aristotelean reasoning and its use in everyday language, covering E-Prime(which this stub appears written in) and how it addresses many of the semantic (and resulting perceptual) "spooks" that common language lets in.

 Quantum Consciousness And Your Immortality
A scientific analysis of the human being’s physical reality and of the metaphysical possibilities based on current emerging concepts in quantum physics, this book contends that humans, contrary to the Newtonian concept, are Quantum beings without set horizons, participating actively at the cosmic level of existence.
QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS AND YOUR IMMORTALITY is not written from a religious perspective and is also not limited to New Age pseudo-science, astral-projection, or para-psychology mindsets.
QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS AND YOUR IMMORTALITY uses the terminology of the newest concepts of Physics to describe our greater potential not as Newtonian blobs of tissue with our feet planted on dirt, but as Quantum persons without set horizons, fully participating at the cosmic level of existence.

The language of LSD trips can resemble the language of the older quantum physics, involving white light and dancing particles, but new reports in physics journals use terms which are much closer to 'the language of ketamine'.
Nevertheless, research with this substance is proceeding in several countries and may eventually lead to the development of a 'quantum psychiatry', just as Freudian psychiatry, which saw psychic energy as a head of steam in the mind, took its cue from Newton's mechanical outlook 100 years earlier.

 What is Quantum Psychology ?
Quantum Psychology is a practical approach to becoming mindful of both the relationship between our automatic responses and what triggers them, as well as the mechanism, itself, of those automatic responses.
In advanced work, Quantum Psychology delves experientially into the realm of emptiness, exploring and responding to the diverse ways we defend ourselves against it, paving the way to the spaciousness that comes from freely allowing emptiness to be experienced.
On this level therapy is not about problem-solving whatsoever, but is used as a vehicle to practice locating yourself in the "never-changing background" from where the problems that flow through the "ever-changing foreground" can be seen from an expanded perspective.

Heisenberg's strange picture of the quantum world as half-real possibilities that become actualized only during a measurement aact is considered by many physicists as a most reasonable guess as to how the world deep down really operates.
As the cornerstone of holistic physics, I assume that every quantum system has both an "inside" and an "outside", and that consciousness in humasns as well as in other sentient beings is identical to the inner experience of some quantum system.

 History of Q Methodology
Spearman once referred to his protégé as the most creative statistician in psychology, but from virtually the moment of its inception, the broader considerations of Q as a methodology were destined to be controversial and to be shunned by most of academic psychology.
For Burt, factor analysis and quantum theory were linked by analogy only, and this was due in large part to the phenomena being measured: R methodology measures objective variables, such as intelligence, whereas quantum mechanics measures not variables, but states (of energy).
It is this naturalism, in part, that drew Stephenson to the interbehavioral psychology of Kantor (1959) and to the confluence of Kantor, Spearman, and quantum theory (Stephenson, 1982, 1984).

 [No title]
The field of quantum psychology began to emerge when earlier studies of biophoton emission, superradiance and nanoscale biological structures were linked with the holonomic brain theory of Karl Pribram, which related macrolevel neural processes to quantum brain dynamics (QBD).
The 'attractors' of quantum chaos are often eerily reminiscent of primitive organic forms, but they remain bound or 'compactified' at the nanolevel - otherwise, if quarks or other particulate matter were to enter the classical domain, the Newtonian reality we know and love so well would instantly collapse.
The 'organic analogues' of quantum attractors are in fact translated fractally into the classical domain through compactification, while events in classical domain influence the collapse or transition of these attractors at the nanolevel.
