In recent decades the term "consciousness" has invaded everyday and scholarly language. From different spheres of knowledge and from different ways of understanding existence, consciousness is pointed out as the last challenge for human knowledge and as the last mystery to be revealed about humanity in the universe. Neither materialistic nor idealistic explanations, nor monistic nor dualistic views, exhaust this extraordinary manifestation of life.

The texts that make up Psychology and consciousness are a sample of the different works that are being developed in the field of psychology around the great theme of consciousness. Theoretical reflection, empirical research and practical application are mixed in this attempt that the different perspectives intersect and bear fruit, opening the way to an integral conception of the human being.
