Psychology and Buddhism: From Individual to Global Community, by Kathleen H. Dockett

Description

“Description : This book is notable in that it relates Buddhism (mostly trying to show its efficacy/applicability) to "Community Psychology," but is oriented to Nicheren & Zen Buddhism & overlooks Social Psychology & Sociology. Its purpose is "to inform, stimulate, & broaden the thinking of psychologists & others interested in the interface between psychology & Buddhism" but recognizes that p. 65: "As therapists we must also be mindful of the potential hazards of applying Eastern practices outside of their cultural & spiritual contexts. Numerous sources have warned of the dangers of applying Eastern techniques in the West without great care...Transcendental Meditation & even deep relaxation have been noted to have a powerful potential for adverse psychiatric effects in some types of patients...the potential for disruptive psychological & emotional disregulation &/or regression in the wake of Eastern practices from too powerful an encounter with the self. In such cases it appears that the power of Eastern techniques overwhelms the self-structure of some psychotherapy patients, precipitating what are known in the literature as psychiatric casualties."”
