Product Description

Product Description

Traditional distinctions between matters of the mind and matters of the spirit are increasingly being questioned, and people are searching for alternate perspectives on these issues. Thoughts Without a Thinker is a major contribution to today's exploding discussion of how Eastern spirituality can enhance Western psychology. In it, Mark Epstein argues that the contemplative traditions of the East can be extremely beneficial to patients, not just in helping them recognize their problems, but by giving them the strength to heal. Clearly written and very accessible, this enlightening guide explains the unique psychological contributions of the teachings of Buddhism, describes the path of meditation in contemporary psychological language, and lays out the possibility of a meditation-inspired psychotherapy.

IN THE EARLY days of my interest in Buddhism and psychology, I was given a particularly vivid demonstration of how difficult it was going to be to forge an integration between the two. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that shouldn't be overlooked, 17 Oct 2001
By A Customer
As an aspiring psychology student, I purchased this book with the intention of simply seeing psychoanalsis through a new perspective. However, after carefully reading this work, including the insightful introduction from the Dalai Lama, I soon realized that I not only had a new conception of psychoanalysis, but of Buddhism as well. This book should be especially picked up by anyone who has ever seen Buddhism as yet another 'New Age' concept or 'feel good' pseudo-science. Finally, the West has an opportunity to not only get a good understanding of Buddhism through terms we can relate to, but also an unique vision of the possibilities of psychoanalysis.
