Process oriented psychology (POP), also known as Process Work, refers to a body of theory and practice developed by Arnold Mindell that encompasses a broad range of psychotherapeutic, personal growth, and group process applications. It is more commonly called "Process Work" in the United States, the longer name being used in Europe and Asia. This may be because the term "psychology" is a protected title in Oregon where the unaccredited but approved Process Work Centre is based. Process Work is little known outside of organizations directly associated with or founded by Arnold Mindell. Although bearing similar names, Process-oriented psychology as developed by Mindell is distinct from Process psychology derived from Whitehead's Process philosophy.

“My advice to people today is as follows: If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.”
—Timothy Leary (b. 1920)
“Fundamentally the male artist approximates more to the psychology of woman, who, biologically speaking, is a purely creative being and whose personality has been as mysterious and unfathomable to the man as the artist has been to the average person.”
—Beatrice Hinkle (1874–1953)
