Arnold Mindell

Arnold Mindell, Ph.D., a graduate of MIT and the C. G. Jung Institute, Switzerland, is the author of over 20 books including Riding the Horse Backwards (with Dr. Amy Mindell, Lao Tse Press, 2001), Dreambody (Deep Democracy Exchange, 2011), The Shaman’s Body (Harper San Francisco, 1993), Quantum Mind (Deep Democracy Exchange, 2012), and ProcessMind (Quest Books, 2010). He is known throughout the world for his innovative synthesis of dreams and bodywork that integrates Jungian therapy and group process, with studies of consciousness, Taoism, shamanism, quantum physics, and conflict resolution. In the 1970s, Mindell began to develop Process Work, also known as process-oriented psychology. His work has given rise to a new paradigm with applications in a diversity of areas including individual psychotherapy, personal meditation practice, medicine (including coma and near-death experiences), large group and change management processes, and environmental issues. Dr. Mindell travels widely in the US and abroad with his partner and co-researcher, Dr. Amy Mindell, holding workshops, seminars, and making frequent appearances at professional conferences and on television and radio shows. They live in Oregon, and work as consultants and facilitators for groups, organizations, cities, and governments worldwide.
