ANALYTICAL BUDDHIST PSYCHOTHERAPY

For many decades I have been practising psychotherapy and basing my practice upon the theories and models of the mind found in the Buddhist texts. This work has also produced a number of books and an on-line Buddhist Psychology training programme.

Recently, I have been extending this work into a more analytical approach. This presents some practical difficulties. To do such an analysis one needs more time: at least the equivalent of four sessions per week for at least six months. This comes out at about 100 sessions. Few people are willing to put aside the time or the money for this, but some are willing to make the investment in their own sanity.

Buddhism discovered the unconscious, in the form of the alaya, two thousand years before Freud. Material becomes stored in the alaya through the skandha process and emerges as chanda intentionality. Conflicts between such intentions can generate symptoms and can paralyse creative activity. However, these inner conflicts often remain outside of awareness and beyond rational resolution. Analytical psychotherapy is an approach to mental health that aims to trace and resolve these difficulties.

Analytical psychotherapy is an experience that brings self-knowledge and enhances one's ability to enter the natural flow of life without neurotic impediments or hysterical formations getting in the way. While the Freudian theories provide a model for this kind of work, the more extensive Buddhist models of the mind provide a wonderful alternative basis for analytical psychotherapy in a form replete with spiritual sensitivity.

TO APPLY

I shall have a vacancy for an analysand in March 2024. The fee for 100 sessions will be €6000. For a preliminary interview contact me via this site or at dharmavidya@fastmail.fm
