Can the meditative traditions of Buddhism be integrated with the
practice of Western psychology? John Welwood's latest book
addresses this question with new comprehensiveness and depth,
building on the innovative psychospiritual approach of his six
previous books (with total sales of over 300,000 copies). The
questions he addresses include:
What can the spiritual methodologies of the East teach us about
psychological health?
What issues arise when the recognition of our larger nature
challenges our very conception of individual self ?
What new directions become possible when psychological work is
undertaken in a spiritual context?
How does Western psychological understanding affect our approach to
spirituality?
Welwood's psychology of awakening brings together three major
dimensions of human existence: personal, interpersonal, and
suprapersonal in one overall framework of understanding and
practice.
The book's first section addresses basic questions about the
relationship between psychology and contemplative spirituality. The
second explores the practical implications of this convergence for
psychological health and healing. The third considers the
implications for relationship and community.
