Psychotherapy & Buddhism

How can spiritual development and the psychological insights of the West be combined? How can we reconcile the development of the individual with the spiritual search for that which lies beyond the self? John Welwood addresses these questions with extraordinary care and depth. His psychology of enlightenment brings together three essential areas of human existence - personal, interpersonal and supra-personal - which have not yet been integrated into an overall context by any single Western or Eastern tradition. In this overall view, which encompasses theory and practice in equal measure, nothing less than the integration of the psychological and spiritual aspects of our being emerges.
