Gay watson firmly places her exploration of these themes within the context of contemporary life and thought, as a response to the pathologies, physical and intellectual, of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganized according to the traditional Tibetan plan of Ground, path and fruition, the book first presents a brief survey of Western psychotherapies followed by an introduction to Buddhist view, with particular reference to those most relevant to psychotherapy.  Path considers the two major branches of the Buddhist way, ethics and meditation, in the context of contemporary life and psychotherapy.  Fruition compares the goal of Buddhism and Psychotherapy and subsequently explores the implications of adopting Buddhist influence in the light of contemporary discourse and the experienced domains of body, speech and mind.  Finally, the lineaments of a contemporary Buddhist-inspired psychotherapy are suggested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be of great interest to those concerned with the translation of Buddhism into contemporary life and also to students of psychotherapy and its expansion, particularly into spiritual and transpersonal dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER ONE : INTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003eBuddhism and Psychotherapy\u003cbr\u003eBuddhism and the Contemporary Horizon\u003cbr\u003eBuddhism as an Inspiration for a Contemporary Psychotherapy\u003cbr\u003eContentions and Intentions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART ONE\u003cbr\u003eGROUND : Theoretical Consideration\u003cbr\u003ePREAMBLE : Experience and Meaning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER TWO : WESTERN PSYCHOTHERAPIES\u003cbr\u003ePsychoanalysis\u003cbr\u003eCongnitive-Behavioural Psychotherapy\u003cbr\u003eExistential and Humanistic Psychotherapies\u003cbr\u003eTranspersonal Psychotherapy\u003cbr\u003eThe Integrative Perspective\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER THREE : THE BUDDHIST VIEW\u003cbr\u003eThe Four Noble Truths and Dependent Origination Emptiness\u003cbr\u003eWestern Interpretations of Emptiness\u003cbr\u003eEmptiness as a Way\u003cbr\u003eBuddhist Epistemology and Psychology\u003cbr\u003eBuddha Nature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER FOUR : THE \"CONCIOUSNESS THE VIEWS\" : SOME IDEA OF THE SELF\u003cbr\u003eThe Buddhist view of the self\u003cbr\u003eSome Western Views on the Development of Consciousness\u003cbr\u003eViews of the self in Contemporary Discourse\u003cbr\u003eThe Self in Psychotherapy\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART TWO : PATH\u003cbr\u003ePREAMBLE : Path\u003cbr\u003eBuddhist Ethics\u003cbr\u003eEthics and Psychotherapy\u003cbr\u003eSome Contemporary Western Views of Ethics\u003cbr\u003eConclusions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER SIX : Meditation\u003cbr\u003eBuddhist Meditation\u003cbr\u003eLessons for Psychotherapy : The Therapist's Perspective\u003cbr\u003eMeditation and the Client\u003cbr\u003eMeditation in the Therapeutic Encounter\u003cbr\u003eConclusions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART THREE\u003cbr\u003eFRUITION : Goals and Implications\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER SEVEN : GOAL\u003cbr\u003eThe Buddhist Goal\u003cbr\u003eGoals in Psychotherapy\u003cbr\u003eContrasts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER EIGHT : IMPLICATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEMBODIMENT\u003cbr\u003eEmbodiment in Buddhism\u003cbr\u003eBody in Contemporary Western Thought\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPEECH\u003cbr\u003eSpeech in Buddhism\u003cbr\u003eContemporary Ideas of Speech in the West\u003cbr\u003eImagination and Metaphor\u003cbr\u003eThe Feminine Voice\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMIND\u003cbr\u003eInterrelationship\u003cbr\u003eNon-Egocentrism\u003cbr\u003eAnswer to Nihilism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FOUR : Conclusions\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER NINE : TOWARDS AN EMPTY FULLNESS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Gay Watson \/ Motilal Banarsidass \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153732661616,"sku":"6821","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/6821.jpg?v=1793913314","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-resonance-of-emptiness","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
