Mental Space Psychology

Some psychotherapeutic schools discribe their techniques in precise step-by-step formats. By

using these methods for decades the practitioner recognizes patterns in psychological phenomena

that are hard to see in controlled laboratory settings. What does the regarding of such highly

structured therapeutic techniques as field experiements reveal about the workings of the mind?

In this project the focus is on insights about the role of space in cognition, the mechanisms that

make it hard for people to change their beliefs, and the neuro-cognitive mechanisms behind

emotional problem solving. Lucas Derks' research opens a new paradigm in psychology: Mental Space Psychology.
