A comprehensive collection of essays exploring the interstices of
Eastern and Western modes of thinking about the self, Crossroads in
Psychoanalysis, Buddhism, and Mindfulness: The Word and the Breath
documents just some of the challenges, conflicts, pitfalls, and
"wow" moments that inhere in today's historical and cultural
intersections of theory, practice, and experience. As this
collection demonstrates, the crossroads between Buddhist and
psychoanalytic approaches to mindfulness are rich beyond belief in
integrative potential. The surprising and fertile connections from
which this book originates, and the future ones which every reader
in turn will spur, will invigorate and intensify this specific form
of contemporary commerce at the crossroads of East and West.
Analytically-oriented psychotherapists, themselves of different
"climates" and cultures, break out of the seclusion of the
consulting room to think, translate, meditate on, and mediate their
experiences-generated via the maternal order-in such a way as to
make those experiences thinkable via the necessary filters of the
paternal order of language. In this light the "word and the breath"
of the book's subtitle are addressed as the privileged
"instruments" of psychoanalysis and meditation, respectively.
