David Brazier writes with clarity and authority about the Zen way."―Mark Epstein, M.D. author of Thoughts Without a Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective. "Comprehensive and readable . . . should appeal to anyone broadly interested in Buddhism."―Helen Sieroda psychosynthesis psychotherapist. In this book, psychotherapist David Brazier offers readers in the West a fresh perspective on Buddhist psychology and demonstrates how Zen Buddhist techniques are integrated into psychotherapy. Writing from the viewpoint of a Western psychotherapist, Dr. Brazier successfully demystifies Buddhist psychology, explains the conceptual foundations of Buddhist thought, and with the help of vivid case studies, clearly demonstrates how a Buddhist approach can provide a practical path to personal growth.
