Early Buddhist Teachings
2025
Overview
Mindfulness and meditation, practices that are rooted in Buddhism, have become mainstream treatments in counseling and psychotherapy. However, for clients from non-Western backgrounds, dissociating mindfulness practice from the core Buddhist teachings can dilute the transformative power of these practices, causing cultural confusion and lowering the effectiveness of treatment.
This book presents Early Buddhist Teachings as a theoretical orientation for the millions of individuals affiliated with Buddhism to create a culturally congruent counseling model. Using original sources in Pāli, it explores key Buddhist concepts such as dependent co-arising, non-self, impermanence, and others. The authors compare them with Western psychological concepts, furthering dialogue between Buddhism and psychotherapy and fostering powerful integrations.
This volume also shows how to use the Buddhist counseling model through practical assessment scales, sample dialogues, and detailed descriptions of interventions designed for mental health professionals. It is a valuable resource for mental health professionals, scholars, and psychology students seeking to explore the intersection of Buddhism and counseling psychology.
