The historical, religious, and philosophical foundations of mindfulness offer essential insights for clinicians and researchers alike.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This book, a collaboration between two practicing psychologists and an ordained Buddhist nun, examines the early Buddhist philosophical roots of mindfulness and provides a model for modern psychotherapy. In Buddhist psychotherapy, the therapist listens to a client discuss their concerns, considers how the client’s suffering can be conceptualized from a Buddhist worldview, and uses mindfulness and other techniques taught by the Buddha to address the source of their suffering. This framework does not rely on any specific spiritual belief, but instead seeks to alleviate client suffering in a world where everything is ultimately impermanent and impersonal.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Amply illustrated with quotes from early Buddhist literature as well as modern clinical examples, this rich volume will help modern psychotherapists deepen their understanding of mindfulness and enrich their practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56417657094518,"sku":"9781433841637","price":36.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36645520.jpg?v=1760629077","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781433841637-buddhist-psychotherapy","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
