The book expands on the thin line between psychology and psychiatry, offering a new perspective on extreme states of consciousness. The book is addressed to psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, city administration, as well as all members of the “horticultural club” Each of the diseases in all situations demonstrates highly organized, almost mathematical predictability. One of the goals of this work was to show that causality, the philosophy of “disease-cure”, which are guided, mainly research and treatment in psychiatry, are not the only possible ways to observe or treat the effects of the above syndromes. There is an urgent need for a process-oriented paradigm that studies various channels of human feeling and operates with specific individual and collective problems, as well as normal and extreme states. New Paradigm Mixes Psychiatry with Social Work, Psychology, and Politics . In the future, I believe mental health professions will consider modern psychiatry, psychology, social work, medicine, and politics as specialized stand-alone approaches to extreme states as well as social and physical problems. The only way to bring these specialists together today is to consider them as one team. Arnold Mindell
