Description
Thoughts Without a Thinker: Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective by Mark Epstein explores how Eastern spirituality can enhance Western psychology. As patients and therapists seek new approaches to their problems, traditional distinctions between the mind and spirit are being questioned. Drawing on his own experiences as patient, meditator, and therapist, Mark Epstein presents the Buddha's psychological teachings in a way that complements psychodynamic methods. The book delves into Buddhist perspectives on issues at the forefront of psychological concern, dispelling misconceptions about meditation techniques along the way. Epstein uses Freud's treatise on psychotherapy as a framework to demonstrate how Buddhist teachings can inform and energize therapeutic practice. This insightful investigation offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of Eastern spirituality and Western psychology.
