Modern psychology suffers from a split between Scientists and Practitioners. The historical source of this split is traced to the philosophical issues surrounding mind and matter. The modern emphasis on a "scientific" approach conflicts with the common experience of practitioners and clients. Responses to the modern mechanistic worldview are explored, including deconstructive and constructive postmodernism, as they apply to psychology. The process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead is proposed as a foundational bridge reconnecting the two factions in contemporary psychology. Concepts of the self, central to process psychology, are developed. Psychotherapy using process concepts is evaluated, and a process oriented developmental model is outlined. Process psychology is related to classical psychological categories.
