PSY-5940K: Buddhism and Psychoanalysis in Dialogue: Implications for Current Clinical Practice

Buddhism and psychoanalysis both provide technologies and practices that promote psychological mindfulness and self-realization. While these two traditions are steeped in cultural perspectives that are radically different in some respects, a significant and growingly lively courtship between psychoanalysis and Buddhism has been taking place through theoretical discourse as well as the emergence of Buddhist informed principles into clinical practice. This workshop overviews aspects of the history of this relationship, considers varying perspectives on ideas such as ego, self, neurosis, mindfulness, and self-realization. The clinical implications of an integrative (East/West) depth psychological modality will be explored. There will also be the opportunity to practice classical mindfulness-based exercises.
