Una unidad buscada: la importancia del vínculo en el psicoanálisis y en el budismo

Rate this book
La autora de este libro considera que la relación entre maestros budistas y sus estudiantes y entre analistas y sus pacientes tiene muchos puntos en común. Uno de los más importantes es la dependencia, aspecto esencial de todo proceso de sanación y autoconocimiento y que, sin embargo, es muy temida por la mayoría de los occidentales. En este estudio de los paralelos entre esas dos disciplinas, Pilar Jennings presenta distintas interpretaciones del dolor y de su superación, representadas por figuras legendarias y actuales del budismo, así como por teóricos del psicoanálisis.

Para mí ha sido un verdadero regalo poder leer este libro que recomiendo con mucha confianza a toda persona que se interese en las relaciones entre estos dos métodos tan distintos para conseguir una vida más plena: el psicoanálisis y el budismo.

Elizabeth Gilbert's ringing endorsement:

“I discovered this book two years ago and it’s become supremely important to me. Jennings is both a psychotherapist and a Buddhist practitioner. As someone with a foot in both camps, she writes intelligently about the merits and pitfalls of both Western and Eastern philosophy. Western thought, for instance, teaches us that the path to happiness involves strengthening up the Self, while Eastern practices suggest that we would be far better off discarding the Self altogether — so what is a confused Self to do? Jennings unthreads both paths with remarkable, compassionate (and always fair) perspective.”
