Since I have been posting a little on the FM ning, and making a video on my interest in developing and teaching "Metapsychology," I thought I probably need to map out my own vision of where Psychology has come and gone, how it has developed historically and in terms of consciousness complexity and what the future of Psychology may or may not be. Of course, it would take a few lectures by me to explain all that is in and behind this diagram, as well as to cite the references and theories and meta-theory that helps me to articulate and draw this mapping. It is in progress and no way the final word on the topic. And, yes, it leaves off a hundred other psychologies that could have been named (e.g., somatic psychology, feminist psychology, personality psychology, pop psychology, Green psychology, Gestalt psychology, liberation psychology, trauma psychology, fearological psychology, post-humanist psychology, educational psychology, transformative psychology, developmental psychology, animist psychology, child psychology, psychotropic psychology, forensic psychology, mestiza psychology, moral psychology, religiousl psychology, cult psychology, Indigenous psychology, East-West psychology, trans-sexual psychology, mass psychology, maternal-matrixial psychology, conspiracy psychology, phallic psychology, computational psychology, quantum psychology, depth psychology, social psychology, peace psychology, political psychology, victim psychology, Millennials psychology, archetypal psychology, fearlessness psychology, neurotic psychology, Buddhist psychology, apocalyptic psychology, Trumpian psychology, transdisciplinary psychology, Black psychology, etc. etc.). It creates a good place for conversation on the "psychological" or what I call "psychologia-q" notion. I share it here for feedback. 

Note: W. Perspective is controversial for good reasons--it is Eurocentric (primarily); and, it's where I was born and educated and mostly lived and studied (Canada)
