The very first systematic work on Buddhist Psychotherapy integrating psychological, medical and psychosomatic knowledge of Western culture, including largely unknown Buddhist practices.

This practical work offers instructions, inspiration and help for professionals in the fields of psychotherapy and counseling, as well as for a broad readership interested in psychotherapy, Buddhism, or human functioning and personal development in general.

Buddhist Psychotherapy (BPT) is a new form of therapy with deep roots, focusing on our positive human potential, on goals that are actually within our reach. Its impact reaches far beyond the relief from suffering and the promotion of healthy states of mind like happiness, compassion, love and joy.

For this purpose, BPT imparts precise insights and techniques for assisting you with overcoming avoidable suffering and coping with unavoidable one faster. The author presents techniques from the various modern therapeutic approaches, as well as known and beyond that, largely unknown Buddhist practices.
