Process-oriented psychology (POP) was developed by Arnold Mindell, a Jungian. This branch of psychology includes Taoism, Buddhism, shamanism, and quantum physics. POP can lead to the recovery of wholeness and provide a solution to psychosomatic problems by emphasizing awareness as the most important factor. This paper reports a case of female patients suffering from eating disorders and major depression, who were successfully treated by POP. The case pertains to a female patient in her forties. She first visited our department two years ago, mainly complaining of hyperventilation. When the author took over the therapy from the in-charge, she confessed that she had been suffering from an eating disorder for about thirty years. Although the manifestation of depressive symptoms had ceased with the help of antidepressants and supportive psychotherapy and had obtained a license for practicing aromatherapy, there was no improvement in her eating disorder and in her habit of slitting her shoulders. By carrying out inner work directed at establishing a relationship channel with the author, she became aware that the desire for dependency was the manifestation of her "primary process," which was relatively close to her awareness; further, the power to act independently in the face of difficulty originated from her "secondary process," which was relatively farther from her awareness. Since then she has been able to adequately depend on the author, overcome her trauma, stop the habit of slitting her shoulders, and control her eating disorder.
