"Psychoanalysis and Buddhism" pairs Buddhist psychotherapists together with leading figures in psychoanalysis who have a general interest in the role of spirituality in psychology. The resulting essays present an illuminating discourse on these two disciplines and how they intersect. This landmark book challenges traditional thoughts on psychoanalysis and Buddhism and propels them to a higher level of understanding.

"Psychoanalysis and Buddhism is an extraordinary book. While Jack Engler's brilliant opening essay sets the bar high for the other contributors, the entire volume is full of wonderful surprises. Chief among them are the contributions of many of the respected psychoanalysts, none of them known for their interest in Buddhism, who consistently defy expectations and push the thinking of their Buddhist colleagues to new horizons. This is a beautifully conceived work: innovative, provocative, fascinating and useful. Jeremy Safran deserves much praise."
