What is Buddhist Psychotherapy? Integrating Buddhism and psychotherapy

Dr Eng-Kong Tan , Dr. Brian Gutkin, Subhana Barzaghi

Many senior psychotherapists have noted the role and benefits of spiritual teachings and practices. For the last two decades Western Psychotherapies have appropriated MINDFULNESS from the Spiritual Traditions, and in particular from Buddhism. Today there are many Mindfulness Based Therapies within mainstream psychotherapies. However, there are very many other teachings and practices from Buddhism which are useful for the psychotherapeutic dyad. There is a lot in recent psychotherapeutic literature comparing Buddhist teachings and practices with cognitive/behavioural and psychodynamic/analytic therapies.
