PSY748 (Existential Phenomenological Psychology) provided training in phenomenological methods, consciousness studies, and the integration of contemplative practices with clinical psychology. The coursework explored transcendence and reduction, clinical phenomenology, and the nature of conscious experience itself.
These papers represent early doctoral explorations into consciousness, attention, and the phenomenological dimensions of therapeutic practice—foundations that would later integrate with cognitive science, mindfulness-based interventions, and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
