Weaving the Paths of Buddhism and Psychotherapy is an empathic
guide to integrating Eastern and Western wisdom traditions that
share the common goal of easing distress. Following the so-called
‘mindfulness revolution’ there has been a surge in interest as
to how Buddhism’s overarching view on suffering may enhance
therapeutic practice. This book is not just a clinical text; it is
a first-person account of one Buddhist therapist educator’s lived
experience of bringing Buddhism into the very personal and
relational experience of psychotherapy. Western-trained therapists
will recognize key concepts: the existential underpinnings of
distress, driver behaviour and scripts, modifications to contact
such as projection and introjection, relational conditions for
healing, ethical considerations, and working with complex
presentations and trauma, among others. Through autobiographical
vignettes and case-study material, the book offers an invitation to
all therapists to consider their own practice of human being.
