Description

This study seeks to challenge some of the basic assumptions of Western psychology, demystify Buddhist psychology and present Zen as therapy. It cites numerous examples of Zen's effectiveness in psychotherapeutic practice and explains how Zen derives from the Buddhist theory of the mind, throwing light upon the Buddhist theory of relations and conditions.

Reviews

"'Zen Therapy is an excellent refemce book for basic buddhist teachings, expressed within a therapeutic framework......I would recommend a careful study of this to therapists and Buddhist practioners alike' - Rosamund Oliver, Self & Society; 'Masterly and inspiring' - Dr Joy Manne"
