Psychological cause and effect opposes free will by saying that behavior is predetermined by previous events
Quantum physics allows multiple possible outcomes, therefor a behavior is not predetermined by previous events allowing free will unlike the type of cause and effect psychology that assumes behavior is completely determined by previous events and there interaction with the individual.
There could be a non-material portion of the human that partly controls the material portion. What appears to be random events could contain some areas in which the free will of the non-material portion can control a certain portion of the material portion. If it was predictable instead of random appearing how could there be free will?
If the nervous system has many predictable sections but a certain section appears random this could include sections in which the non-material portion of the human has control and these random appearing sections could control large portions of the sections that follow predictable laws. If these actions are predictable chains of events that are triggered as initiated at the "random" section.
There is an overlap between a certain non-material portion of thinking and the material world as people can forget things or lose some sensation of the material world if certain portions of the brain are damaged.
Of course people have the ability to make choices and those choices are limited. If people did not have any ability to make choices then it does not matter, but if people have the ability to make choices then if someone thinks they do not they can put them-self in deep water metaphorically by making poor choices on the basis of their assumption that they cannot make choices
