Since the 1970s, the influence of oriental philosophy, in
particular the Buddhist tradition, in the field of psychotherapy
has been quite profound. Taoism has not had the same impact on
modern psychotherapeutic models. Yet, as early as 1936, Alva
LaSalle Kitselman who was, at that time, studying oriental
languages at Stanford University, with a particular emphasis on
Sanskrit, created his own version of the classic text of the Taoist
tradition - the book of Lao Tzu entitled the Tao Teh King. His
version of this classic was, as he said, a restatement rather than
being a new translation from the ancient Chinese. After its
publication, and through a chance encounter with one of the
librarians at Stanford, he began to realise that Taoism and Taoist
philosophy could be used as a form of therapy, specifically in the
form he called 'non-directiveness' or 'non-directive therapy.' In
the 1950s Kitsleman published an audio lecture on his early
experiences using the Tao Teh King entitled 'An Ancient Therapy'.
In the lecture he compared and contrasted his application of Taoist
philosophy in psychotherapy with the 'client centred therapy'
approach of Carl R. Rogers. This new publication of Kitselman's
version of the Tao Teh King and the story of his discovery will
hopefully ignite a real interest in combining the wisdom of this
classic Taoist text with modern psychotherapeutic methodologies. A.
L. 'Beau' Kitselman was a remarkable man, a genius whose interests
ranged from mathematics, science and computer programming to
exploring the potential of the human mind.

interests ranged from mathematics, science and computer programming
to exploring the potential of the human mind. An early pioneer in
Cognitive Therapy, his E-Therapy stands the test of time. This new
edition has been completely re-typeset and includes an introduction
by his daughter Suzette Kitselman to the life and work of this
extraordinary man.
The Institute of Integration, founded by A. L. Kitselman in the
early 1950s, produced a large library of audio tapes on personal
psychological integration. Kitselman felt that three of those
lectures, concerning the process of integration through 'E-Therapy,
' were of such significant and special interest as to warrant
printing them in booklet form in 1960. This volume faithfully
reproduces those lectures - What Integration is About, The Four
Unthinkables and The Easiest Way, as well as including a new
introduction to her father's work by his daughter Khema Rani
