Zen Meditation in Psychotherapy: Techniques for Clinical Practice
John Wiley & Sons
January, 2012
Zen Meditation in Psychotherapy brings us face-to-face with who we are in our most fundamental nature. The Simpkins evoke a clear consciousness both directly and indirectly, using Zen stories, moving case examples, and clear exercises to follow. They give us persuasive scientific evidence that shows how meditation works well for therapy and changes the brain for the better. With a broad array of both conscious and unconscious forms of meditation, you will find wisdom and enlightenment in your life and for your clients.
This book teaches meditation and mindfulness and shows how you can use it as a therapeutic tool. By promoting awareness, meditation allows people to do what they need and express themselves sincerely beyond psychological problems. Included are applications to anger, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, weight management, and relationships, plus a general protocol for meditative therapy. There is also a section on meditation methods for therapists to relieve stress and burnout and develop acumen.
"Finally, a book that not only gives us the latest scientific evidence about the benefits of meditation for clinician and clients, but details specific and practical ways to bring the meditation process to bear on the common problems brought to therapy. The Simpkins have written an accessible book on applying Zen methods of focus and insight in therapy, sprinkled with stories to engage, illuminate, and inspire." --Bill O'Hanlon, featured guest on Oprah and author of Do One Thing Different.
