Jeffrey B. Rubin

Meditative Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis (eBook, ePUB)

Pathways to Healing and Transformation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dr. Jeffrey Rubin's work-the culmination of four decades immersed in psychoanalysis and Eastern mind-body disciplines-introduces a unique method uniting these wisdom traditions. While both aim to alleviate suffering, their attempts at integration often remain superficial. Rubin demonstrates how therapy and meditation compensate for each other's blind spots, providing richer understanding and opening unexpected pathways to healing and transformation.

There's growing interest in blending Eastern meditative and Western psychotherapeutic traditions among practitioners and those seeking deeper self-understanding. In response, Rubin illuminates how these practices, when pursued together, create synergies and offer profound depths of insight impossible to achieve through either discipline alone.

Meditative Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis provides the conceptual framework underlying the author's Psychotherapy Case Studies, offering a comprehensive theoretical foundation that enriches its practical companion volume. Together, these works create a powerful resource for therapists, spiritual seekers, and anyone interested in personal growth, offering a natural path to psychological healing and a more meaningful life.
