Buddhist Psychology and Gestalt Therapy Integrated

Buddhist Psychology and Gestalt Therapy Integrated: Psychotherapy for the 21st Century establishes the fundamental convergences of Buddhist psychology and Gestalt therapy as well as recognizing their differences in focus and aim. It also describes the essential similarities in Gestalt therapy method and mindfulness practice. Based in both the convergences and the differences, it proposes an approach that integrates the two--a Buddhist psychology informed Gestalt therapy (BPGT)--that points the way to an expansive perspective on psychotherapy for the 21st century.Authors Eva Gold, PsyD and Stephen Zahm, PhD are founding co-directors of Gestalt Therapy Training Center--Northwest, and have written extensively on Gestalt therapy theory and practice. Students of Buddhist psychology and Insight meditation practitioners for many years, they train and present nationally and internationally on the intersection of Buddhist psychology and Gestalt therapy.
