Insights on the interface between Buddhist teachings and Western
psychotherapy by the best-selling author of Thoughts without a
Thinker Immersed in Buddhist psychology prior to studying Western
psychiatry, Dr. Mark Epstein first viewed Western therapeutic
approaches through the lens of the East. This posed something of a
challenge. Although both systems promise liberation through
self-awareness, the central tenet of Buddha's wisdom is the notion
of no-self, while the central focus of Western psychotherapy is the
self. This book, which includes writings from the past twenty-five
years, wrestles with the complex relationship between Buddhism and
psychotherapy and offers nuanced reflections on therapy,
meditation, and psychological and spiritual development. A
best-selling author and popular speaker, Epstein has long been at
the forefront of the effort to introduce Buddhist psychology to the
West. His unique background enables him to serve as a bridge
between the two traditions, which he has found to be more
compatible than at first thought. Engaging with the teachings of
the Buddha as well as those of Freud and Winnicott, he offers a
compelling look at desire, anger, and insight and helps reinterpret
the Buddha's Four Noble Truths and centralconcepts such as
egolessness and emptiness in the psychoanalytic language of our
time.
