- Title
ELEMENTS OF BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHY IN COGNITIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY: THE ROLE OF CULTURAL SPECIFICS AND UNIVERSALS.
- Authors
Dowd, Thomas; McCleery, Amanda
- Abstract
This article traces current and emerging themes from Buddhist philosophy and psychology that have increasingly appeared in western cognitive psychotherapeutic practices. We argue that this interest has occurred within the context of post-modernist, relativistic thinking patterns first exemplified by the constructivistic movement within cognitive psychotherapy. This in turn has arisen from a world-wide clash of cultures in which western cognitive psychotherapies have been forced to reconsider some of their own tacit assumptions. Ideas for the future development of cognitive psychotherapies using Buddhist and Eastern ways of thinking are presented.
