| Summary: | "Interest in the psychotherapeutic capacity of Buddhist teachings and practices has captured the popular imagination. News media regularly post stories about the neuropsychological study of Buddhist meditative states and applications of "mindfulness" practices in diverse settings including corporate business headquarters, the U.S. military, and university health services. However, Ira Helderman shows, for well over a century investigators, stretching back to James, Jung, and others fascinated by the psychology of religion, have studied the psychological dimensions of Buddhist doctrine. They have influenced the mental health field and shaped common understandings of "Buddhism" for many Americans. Prescribing the Dharma is the first book to focus on psychotherapists themselves. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and in-depth interviews with many clinicians who have been formative in the use of Buddhist ideas and concepts, Helderman looks at how the key categories of 'religion' and 'secularism' operate for such caregivers"... |

| adam_text | INTEREST
IN THE PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC CAPACITY
OF
BUDDHIST
TEACHINGS
AND PRACTICES IS WIDELY
EVIDENT IN THE POPULAR IMAGINATION. NEWS MEDIA ROUTINELY REPORT ON THE
NEUROPSYCHO
LOGICAL STUDY
OF
BUDDHIST
MEDITATION AND APPLICATIONS
OF
MINDFULNESS PRACTICES IN
SETTINGS
INCLUDING
CORPORATE OFFICES, THE
U.S.
MILITARY, AND UNIVERSITY HEALTH CENTERS. HOWEVER, AS
IRA
HELDERMAN SHOWS, CURIOUS INVESTIGATORS HAVE STUDIED THE PSYCHOLOGICAL
DIMENSIONS
OF
BUDDHIST
DOCTRINE FOR
WELL
OVER A CENTURY, STRETCHING BACK TO
WILLIAM
JAMES
AND
CARL
JUNG.
THESE ACTIVITIES HAVE SHAPED BOTH THE MENTAL HEALTH FIELD AND BUDDHIST
PRACTICE
THROUGHOUT THE UNITED
STATES.
THIS
IS THE
FIRST
COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE SURPRISINGLY DIVERSE WAYS THAT PSYCHO
THERAPISTS HAVE RELATED TO BUDDHIST TRADITIONS.
THROUGH
EXTENSIVE FIELDWORK AND IN-DEPTH
INTERVIEWS
WITH
CLINICIANS, MANY OF
WHOM
HAVE BEEN FORMATIVE TO THE THERAPEUTIC USE
OF
BUDDHIST
PRACTICES, HELDERMAN
GIVES
VOICE TO THE PSYCHOTHERAPISTS THEMSELVES. HE FO
CUSES
ON HOW THEY UNDERSTAND KEY
CATEGORIES
SUCH AS RELIGION AND SCIENCE. SOME ARE IN
VESTED IN MAINTAINING A HARD BORDER BETWEEN RELIGION AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
AS A BIOMEDICAL
DISCIPLINE.
OTHERS
SPEAK
OF
A
RELIGIOUS-SECULAR BINARY THAT THEY MEAN TO DISRUPT. HELDER
MAN
FINDS THAT PSYCHOTHERAPISTS
APPROACHES
TO BUDDHIST TRADITIONS ARE MOLDED BY HOW
THEY DEFINE WHAT IS AND IS NOT RELIGIOUS, DEMONSTRATING HOW CENTRAL
THESE
CONCEPTS ARE IN
CONTEMPORARY
AMERICAN
CULTURE.
IRA
HELDERMAN,
A PSYCHOTHERAPIST IN PRIVATE PRACTICE, HOLDS A
PH.D.
IN RELIGIOUS
STUDIES
AND IS AN ADJUNCT ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN THE DEPARTMENT
OF
HUMAN
DEVELOPMENT
COUNSELING
AT VANDERBILT
