Quantum psychology which is based on quantum mechanics is aimed at studying the processes happening in a human consciousness and rests on the knowledge that material world directly depends on our mind. By changing one side, we change another one as well. 

The term itself appeared in the last decade of the XX century and can be found in works written by many authors (Robert Anton Wilson, Stephen Wolinsky, N. I. Deryabin, A. I. Nefedov, S. I. Doronin, M. Zarechny). In the USA Stephen Wolinsky and Kristi L. Kennen established Institute of Quantum Psychology. 

As in quantum mechanics, the world is treated as a whole unity consisting of molecules and atoms. Everything consists of these smallest particles – not just what is around us but also what we say and what we think. By means of influencing the consciousness of patients, a therapist is able to change their outer world. 

The main task of quantum therapy consists in the discovery of a real reason that influences certain events in the patient’s life and consequent work with it. Owing to therapist’s work, patients undergo changes directly in their consciousness as well as with the reality that is surrounding them.
