Toward a Psychology of Awakening: Buddhism, Psychotherapy, and the Path of Personal and Spiritual Transformation

Welwood asks how the insights of Buddhist meditation and the discoveries of Western psychology might work together, and what each can offer the other. The book looks at what the contemplative traditions of the East can teach about psychological wellbeing, and what happens to a person's sense of self when the recognition of a larger nature begins to challenge it. It also considers how psychological work carried out in a spiritual setting can open new directions, and how a Western understanding of the mind changes the way we approach spiritual practice. Throughout, the author builds a framework around personal, interpersonal and suprapersonal life, offering guidance to anyone who wants to combine therapeutic and spiritual growth.
