This one is truly out of the box! It consists of a collection of papers by a broad variety of people involved in practice and psychotherapy. After 5 years of practice and a great deal of reading, my own drift has been towards a form of Buddhist practice that seems to be emerging in the west; and it is heavily informed by western thought about the issues involved in psychotherapy. Something I hace gained some considerable familiarity with over the years.

I had already read some of the people who contributed papers here and others I had not even heard of. This is truly cutting edge stuff, and a lot of it just "blew my mind" to borrow a 60's cliche. Much of my own thinking and direction were confirmed and given a solid boost. I am just so excited by the prospects raised by some of these papers, I can't wait to get into some more substantial material having tasted an introduction here. It would probably require a fair familiarity with Buddhist concepts to make much sense out of some of the material but it is a real winner for anyone who has been at it for a while and who is wondering about possible direction.

I can't give a strong enough recommendation
