Abstract
The growth of research on consciousness creates an opportunity to enrich ps ychological practice. This paper suggests that a more even balance between third- and first-person perspectives may now be sought, and that this will make possible more informed interaction between psychological science and p re-scientific traditions for investigating the mind. This paper concludes b y discussing how such developments might enhance the image of psychological science.
