Stephen Wood is critical of the physical, materialist, linear approach which does not come close to consciousness as an experience. OK, but it does shed light on some things. This essay seems to be a confusion of hypothesis and solution, he returns to mysticism and religion, all fine, it is a mystery… it sure is, but there is not much that is new there.
The Holographic Principle and the Evolution of Consciousness:
By Stephen Wood
Quantum physicist Henry Stapp (1997) has argued persuasively that classical physics cannot accommodate the phenomenon of consciousness, because it deals with independent entities that are localized in spacetime. In classical physics, one can only conceive of disjointed physical events in various places in the brain, with no experiential unity. Our conscious experience demands a quantum theory of the mind, which allows for instantaneous interaction between the various elements of the brain. The Holographic Principle is the information theory of such quantum fields. Let us briefly discuss the nature of quantum theory and its connection with the Holographic Principle.

A comparison of psychoanalytic and psychodramatic theory from a psychodramatist’s perspective Abstract A comparison of Freud’s and Moreno’s theories with regard to their implications for psychodrama therapy. Basic differences in the theories are discussed with special regard to therapist role, transference and tele, insight and catharsis, the time concept, the body, and developmental psychology. Other topics treated are concepts of drive or energy, psychic structure and role theory, psychic determinism contra the doctrine of spontaneity-creativity and differences between an intrapsychic and an interpersonal approach. An outline of the relationship of psychodrama and its philosophy and practice to other schools of psychotherapy is given.

Countertransference and parallel processes have become a newly appreciated facet of organizational research and consultation. These phenomena arise as the consultant and client relate and tend to complement or reflect dynamics that exist within the organization under study. In this article, the author provides an examination of countertransference and parallel processes, a historical review of their theoretical and methodological evolution, and an application to three cases according to an embedded intergroup relations perspective.

Labeling is problematic, some more than others. The DSM leads to over medicalisation.
American Psychiatry Is Facing “Civil War” over Its Diagnostic Manual | Psychology Today:
“Given the embarrassing evidence in the New Scientist article, whose associated editorial is called “Time’s Up for Psychiatry’s Bible,” the timing of the APA announcement raises significant flags. As the New Scientist put it in a rider that appeared on its website yesterday, “Since [the] article was first posted [last week], the American Psychiatric Association has announced that the publication of DSM-V will be delayed until May 2013.”
“Undoubtedly, the most reckless suggestion for DSM-V is that it include many new categories to capture the milder subthreshold versions of the existing more severe official disorders. The . . . DSM-V Task Force has failed to adequately consider the potentially disastrous unintended consequence that DSM-V may flood the world with new false positives. . . . The result would be a wholesale imperial medicalization of normality that will trivialize mental disorder and lead to a deluge of unneeded medication treatments—a bonanza for the pharmaceutical industry but at a huge cost to the new false positive ‘patients’ caught in the excessively wide DSM-V net.”
