Review
Other-Centred Therapy explores profound themes in a refreshingly simple and direct way and it will greatly inspire both students and experienced therapists. The section on Identity is particularly stimulating, blending ideas from classical Buddhist teachings and Western psychology creatively and effectively, pointing the way towards a more open and grounded perspective based on wisdom and compassion. --Manu Bazzano, Zen monk, psychotherapist, and author of Buddha is Dead
Insightful, provocative, revealing. The concept of Other-centered Therapy has the potential to revolutionize the field of psychology, as we rethink how we can help those who are suffering. Other-centered therapy is essential reading for anyone who hopes to provide enlightened guidance in world of psychological suffering. A book where the paths of the spiritual and the psychological meet and merge into a holistic journey of the heart. --Gregg Krech, author of Naikan: gratitude, grace and the Japanese art of self-reflection and founder of Todo Institute
Product Description
Practical and innovative and grounded in theory of Buddhist psychology and in Western methodologies, "Other-Centred Therapy" presents a positive and outwardly orientated view of therapeutic process. Caroline Brazier offers an introduction to an innovative therapeutic approach which is founded on an understanding of human process that is both practical, and honoring of our place in an experiential world. The book is practical, offering the reader not only a straightforward, jargon-free presentation, but also examples of the method in practice. Set out as a learning programme, it includes exercises and discussion points which will help the reader to integrate learning. This book will be of interest to student and practicing counselors and psychotherapists, but will also provide plenty of material for the general reader. The structured approach will make it an invaluable tool for trainers. A down to earth approach to good therapeutic practice, this book nevertheless critiques many of the popular assumptions of the profession and takes a fresh look at the important foundations of its work.
