Story

The Process Work Institute is a non-profit educational institute devoted to research and training in Process-oriented Psychology, also known as Process Work. It is one of many centers worldwide dedicated to furthering our understanding of the fundamental problems facing individuals and groups today, using the methods and spirit of inquiry found in Process Work.

The Process Work Institute continues the tradition of Process Work training and research begun in 1982 with the founding of the Research Society for Process-oriented Psychology in Zurich, Switzerland by Arnold Mindell and his associates. In 1989, the Process Work Center of Portland, later renamed the Process Work Institute, was incorporated in Oregon as a center for training and research in Process Work. It received authorization from the State of Oregon to offer a Master of Arts degree in Process Work in January, 1992. A second Master of Arts degree program in Conflict Facilitation and Organizational Change began in 2004.

The Institute currently serves as a center for personal and professional growth, offering several degree and non-degree programs and courses in a wide variety of Process Work applications.
