This course was developed from the book, Brilliant Sanity, Buddhist Approaches to Psychotherapy which explores the diverse and evolving interface of Buddhism and psychotherapy. Contributors include Tibetan meditation teachers such as Chogyam Trungpa and the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, psychiatrists and psychoanalysts such as Mark Epstein and Ed Podvoll, eminent Buddhist psychologists such as Han De Wit, Karen Wegela and Robert Unger.
This volume includes chapters that discuss how Buddhism interacts with contemporary clinical theory and practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, psychoanalysis, neuroscience, the treatment of psychosis, existential psychology, body psychotherapy, therapist subjectivity and more.
As Harvard Medical School Professor, Eleanor Councilman writes, "It makes the reader aware of the multitudes of Eastern and Western perspectives and is one of the most culturally sensitive psychological books I have read. It is extremely readable and enjoyable."
Course Objectives
1. Recognize the definition of brilliant sanity and its qualities of openness, clarity, and compassion.
2. Identify the similarities between Buddhism and Western psychology that are increasingly abundant in academic literature, and how both psychology and meditation have complementary goals of helping and healing.
3. Exhibit an understanding of relevant terms used in Buddhist practices and Contemplative Psychotherapy including ego, suffering, karma, mindfulness, resonance, exchange, and the mind-body-speech discipline.
4. Evaluate how group process can be used as part of an ideal environment to teach Buddhist practices.
5. Review the components of Contemplative Psychotherapy and evaluate how it has grown out of a combination of Western and Buddhist psychological perspectives, how it represents a unique vision of therapy, and how it compares to other forms of psychotherapy.
