A BREAKTHROUGH IN PSYCHOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING
Possibility Psychology ('Psychology of Possibility') opens doors to understanding and facilitating evolution in the human psyche.
We know transformation is possible through direct experience, but how does it work? How is evolution enhanced?
Human beings have direct access to archetypal domains in our daily lives. How do we get initiated? How do we navigate and make use of such spaces?
Incorporating transformation into our understanding of human potential is the purpose of the field of Possibility Psychology.
WHAT YOU DEFINE AS PSYCHOLOGY DEFINES YOUR POTENTIAL
(Copied from the Psychology Portal of Wikipedia.) Psychology includes the study of conscious and unconscious phenomena, as well as feeling and thought. It is an academic discipline of immense scope. Psychologists seek an understanding of the emergent properties of brains, and all the variety of phenomena linked to those emergent properties, joining this way the broader neuroscientific group of researchers. As a social science it aims to understand individuals and groups by establishing general principles and researching specific cases.
Psychologists explore behavior and mental processes, including perception, cognition, attention, emotion, intelligence, subjective experiences, motivation, brain functioning, and personality. This extends to interaction between people, such as interpersonal relationships, including psychological resilience, family resilience, and other areas. Psychologists of diverse orientations also consider the unconscious mind. Psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational relationships between psychosocial variables. In addition, or in opposition, to employing empirical and deductive methods, some—especially clinical and counseling psychologists—at times rely upon symbolic interpretation and other inductive techniques. Psychology has been described as a "hub science" in that medicine tends to draw psychological research via neurology and psychiatry, whereas social sciences most commonly draws directly from sub-disciplines within psychology.

VARIOUS APPROACHES IN PSYCHOLOGY
There are different schools in psychology, among of these are Structuralism, Functionalism, the Gestalt Psychology, Behaviorism, Psychoanalysis, Humanism and Cognitive Psychology.
Structuralism was developed by Wudnt and Titchener. This school of psychology primarily deals with the study of elements forming the structure of the mind. Structuralist use the method of 'Introspection'.
Functionalism was developed at the University of Chicago by John Dewey and James Angell. It was also developed at Harvard University by William James. Functionalist study the functions of consciousness. They theorize that the learning process is aided by consciousness. Functionalists also deal with personality, intelligence, and other practical problem related to the field of education. The functionalist is interested in the learning process because the learning process is one of the means of adjusting to the environment where one lives.
Gestalt Psychology was developed by Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Wertheimer and Koffha (German psychologist). Gestalt psychologists analyze experience by configuration of the entirety or its patterns. These psychologists give importance to wholeness in the process of learning. They emphasize that the whole is greater than the sum to its parts. Furthermore, they study how form influences perception. They theorize that shapes and forms need to be described through organizing the entire perceptual field.
Behaviorism was developed by John B. Watson, a professor of psychology at John Hopkins University. Behaviorists approach psychology through actions. They stress that behaviors are observable, in contrast to the experience of consciousness which is subjective and only known to the person involved.
Psychoanalysis was developed by Dr. Sigmund Freud. His theory explains physical, nervous and emotional disorders using organic explanations. Sigmund Freud looked to the sub-conscious mind to uncover motivations and desires.
Humanism as contrary to the humanist and the behaviorist starts from the assumption that every person is has a desire to be good. Humanism also asserts that criminality as well as delinquency are caused by an environment that is unhealthy and inadequate for the proper development of the individual.
Cognitive Psychology is a blend of humanism and behaviorism. It gives special attention on thought process, the reasoning as well as problem solving. Cognitive psychologists are concerned with understanding the basic methods of the operation of the human brain.
Possibility Psychology was developed since 1975 by Clinton Callahan and a growing team of Trainers in privately funded research in small groups around North America and Europe. Possibility Psychology distinguishes that humans are Beings that wear five different bodies (physical, intellectual, emotional, energetic, and archetypal). Through authentic adulthood initiatory processes beginning at eighteen years of age, the Being can distinguish between itself and its psychological survival strategy, and thereby build Matrix to hold more consciousness. A Being can take radical responsibility for its personality and learn to navigate the three worlds (upperworld, middleworld, and underworld), jack-in to its Archetypal Lineage, and consciously journey into archetypal domains as a service.

From Eliana 27 November 2019
Transpersonal Psychology considers the integration between 4 bodies. In my understanding, it brings together the energetic and the archetypal as the spiritual body. For Transpersonal, the integration of the 4 bodies opens the door for evolution. So it's very similar to Clinton's approach. However, it does not discriminate the fourth from the fifth body (the energetic from the archetypal). In this thesis, there is a 7-step conceptual map of how evolutionary processes take place. And how can we use this to understand and apply to transformation tools. This content is between pages 162 and 165 in this PDF DOCUMENT in Portuguese by VERA PECEGUINI SALDANHA

From Clinton Callahan 28 November 2019
I am voting to use the term 'Possibility Psychology' rather than 'Psychology of Possibility' for the name in English for two reasons:
1. It matches and fits into the list of list of Psychological Schools on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia/wiki/list_of_psychological_schools
2. A woman has already been using the term 'Psychology of Possibility' since 1981 but she means something different: http://harvardmagazine.com/2010/09/the-mindfulness-chronicles
Are you okay with this?
The Portuguese name does not have to change.
From Vicente Carnero 28 November 2019
I agree with Eliana that in Portuguese when we say the word on singular it looks like, “We know THE possibility” about something. When we say Psychology of Possibilities (Psicologia das Possibilidades) it looks more a field of study on Possibilities, how they work on terms of Psyche functioning.
The name Possibility Psychology or Psychology of Possibilities when translated to Portuguese it will be the same: “Psicologia das Possibilidades”, because we always use “of”, even when there is no “of” on the English term.
I think it is a translation issue. If I read in English it sounds better Possibility Psychology. But if we translate, it sounds better Psicologia das Possibilidades
From Eliana 28 November 2019
If you look at the 7 Steps of Transpersonal's interactive evolutionary process, which is described in this thesis I gave you, I see that the process proposed by the PM, of realizing when the 'SNAP' happens (which we enter into a story) and we can then undo this 'SNAP', correspond precisely to the steps of "Identification" and "Deidentification" of the evolutionary process.
Since the vast majority of people are in the "identification", ie the 'SNAP'. So this tool, from his work, gives us the condition to move on to the next step, "Transmutation", which is where you see yourself from a wider plane than duality, gaining freedom of choice.
This stage corresponds precisely to the broadening of context for conscious choice in PM. Then the next stage of "Systematization" of the new learning corresponds to the understanding of the new and old Thoughtmaps that govern our experiences.
From this comes the Transformation stage, which is the incorporation of new choices and practices into experience. And this corresponds to the PM coaching feedback exercises for new practices. Enabling the steps of Integration into our new way of being broader.
Do you realize that is perfect? And the icing on the cake is the contribution from Possibility Management: distinguishing the 5th body, which expands the possibilities of manifestation.
So, very importantly now, we have well defined what this fifth body is.
From Eliana 28 November 2019
I was explaining to Vicente that the Psychology Council sent a letter to Dr. Vera Saldanha, explaining that the legitimation of new practices in Psychology occurs in academia.
In a practical way, I would like to start by creating a postgraduate degree in Psychology of Possibilities, authorized by MEC, which I know how to do.
From there, a culture would be generated in the academy, conducive to following with research in masters and doctorate. And this is the path to the legitimation of new practices in academia.
To set up a postgraduate degree, we need to develop a program of subjects and teachers, with a workload of at least 360 hours. Teachers must have a masters or doctorate degree preferably. Do you think it possible to do that?
From Clinton Callahan 30 November 2019
I very much appreciate your research and analysis so as to substantiate Possibility Psychology as a legitimate new branch of human psychology. I think that at least two PhD thesis have already been written. I will try to find them.
Yes, the 360 hours of workload for the postgraduate degree is possible and desirable.
