-'''Psychomagic''' is the name of a therapeutic practice used by [[Alejandro Jodorowsky]]. The technique is alleged to be useful in [[psychotherapy]]. It combines art, Eastern philosophies (particularly [[Zen Buddhism]]), [[mysticism]] and modern [[psychotherapy]] to allegedly heal patients with emotional problems. The principle relies on the belief that the [[unconscious mind]] takes a symbolic act as a fact. So a symbolic act could accordingly help solve some types of non rational conflicts. These acts are prescribed by the therapist after having studied the patient's personality and [[family tree]]. This practice is shown in the documentary film Quantum Men, starring Cristobal (Axel), son of Alejandro, and directed by Carlos Serrano Azcona.
