NOW AVAILABLE: Mindfulness-Informed Relational Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis: INQUIRING DEEPLY (Routledge Press, 2017).
INQUIRING DEEPLY provides a refreshing new look at the emerging field of Buddhist-informed psychotherapy. It blends the knowledge of contemporary psychoanalysis with the wisdom of Buddhist view, examining how mindfulness can be integrated into psychodynamic treatment as an aspect of self-reflection rather than as a cognitive behavioral technique or intervention.
INQUIRING DEEPLY explores how mindful awareness and systematic self-reflection can be used strategically in psychodynamic treatment to amplify and unpack psychological experience. In so doing, it both clarifies important dimensions of psychotherapy and illuminates the role of ‘story-teller mind’ in the psychological world of lived experience.
