This study seeks to challenge some of the basic assumptions of Western psychology, demystify Buddhist psychology and present Zen as therapy. It cites numerous examples of Zen's effectiveness in psychotherapeutic practice and explains how Zen derives from the Buddhist theory of the mind, throwing light upon the Buddhist theory of relations and conditions.
“ Comprehensive and readable and should appeal to anyone broadly interested in Buddhism.” Helen Sieroda, Interbeing
“ An excellent reference book for basic Buddhist teachings . . . I would recommend a careful study of this to therapists and Buddhist practitioners alike” Ros Oliver, Self and Society
Review from amazon site:
“ A truly exceptional book of palpable insight, this is a book that will enlighten any therapist / buddhist or any other person seeking a chink of light in the dark tunnel of suffering. David Brazier is engaging and straightforward - the ability to state a well known truth in a manner which is accessible, informative and useful is an exceptional gift - Brazier has it in abundance. Whether you are interested in therapy or zen or just want some accessible pointers on the things that trouble you most - buy this book and read it - it will be a valuable source of pragmatic advice over and over again.” ( nick and jane from Telford, England)
