Postmodern psychology is an approach to psychology that questions whether an ultimate or singular version of truth is actually possible within the field of psychology. This type of psychological approach relies on using a range of different methodologies rather than a singular approach. Psychologists who use this postmodern theory view reality as complex and avoid singular approaches in order to counteract or avoid oversimplification. Post-modernism curtails rationale as by definition it is an abstract "non-existent" method being limited as post modernism and being virtually inseparable from regular standards of today, whilst given as an unlimited ethos. With postmodern psychology the normal technique of philosophical debunking of rationale becomes paradoxically problematic. The understanding of the human psyche through systematic analysis is flawed inherently through absence of objectability. Considering the post-modern approach, one must retain a polarized and transmutable position metaphorically in order to attain conceptual hold of the self subjectively as the object. That given, opinionated transformation of ideology is authorised by the fundamental respected definitions of reason, and inherent knowledge through instinct and intuition. Applied as a replaceable archetype this theoretical method "Tetradic logic" can allow us to accept knowing without knowing by means of integral faith assimilation of reality with transience and fantasy. Once postmodern psychology is mastered the mental ill health prevalent within society will dissipate through a concise and accurate treatment available through integrated intervention into the human mind and body enterprise, as no conditions without cures can actually exist. Paul Vitz refers to yet a further development, that of "transmodern" psychology, as a "new mentality that both transcends and transforms modernity ... (where) psychology would be the handmaid of philosophy and theology, as from the beginning it was meant to be."
