Robert W. Godwin, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist and independent scholar, with subspecialties in forensic, psychoanalytic, and transpersonal psychology.

His 1991 monograph, “Wilfred Bion and David Bohm: Toward a Quantum Metapsychology,” explored the relationship between the order of the universe and that of the mind, demonstrating the theoretical similarity between cutting-edge theories in physics and developmental psychology. Similarly, 1994’s “Psychoanalysis, Chaos, and Complexity: The Evolving Mind as a Dissipative Structure” explained how the field of developmental psychoanalysis might relate to what has become known as the “grand evolutionary synthesis” in science, showing the mind to be an evolving, self-organizing system with the same underlying structure as any dynamic, open system.

One Cosmos Under God is the fruit of a lifetime of thought attempting to synthesize material from a number of diverse domains, including cosmology, theoretical biology, quantum physics, developmental psychoanalysis, attachment theory, anthropology, history, mysticism and theology, into a coherent, self-consistent, non-reductionistic whole.

Dr. Godwin is married and lives in Calabasas, California, where he is in private practice, specializing in the treatment of psychological barriers to spiritual growth.
