Description
Psychotherapy Without the Self: A Buddhist Perspective explores the complex relationship between Buddhist teachings and Western psychotherapy. Dr. Mark Epstein, a renowned author and speaker, offers nuanced reflections on therapy, meditation, and psychological and spiritual development.
In this book, Epstein engages with the teachings of the Buddha as well as those of Freud and Winnicott to reinterpret key concepts such as egolessness and emptiness in the psychoanalytic language of our time. He examines desire, anger, and insight through a Buddhist lens, providing a compelling look at the Four Noble Truths.
With his unique background enabling him to serve as a bridge between Eastern and Western therapeutic approaches, Epstein offers a thought-provoking exploration of how Buddhist psychology can inform and enrich our understanding of psychotherapy.
