Synopsis

For thousands of years, yoga has offered what Western therapists seek to provide today: a way to achieve the total health of body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Yoga & Psychotherapy is an in-depth analysis of Western and Eastern models of the mind and their differing perspectives on such functions as ego, instinct, and consciousness. This book draws upon the rich and diverse experience of Swami Rama, Rudolph Ballentine, MD, and Swami Ajaya, PhD, to show you how the ancient findings of yoga can be used to supplement or replace less complete Western theories and techniques

Yoga & Psychotherapy was written to be accessible to the layperson, yet detailed enough to be of value to the professional. This text is a perfect and succinct introduction to some of the cardinal concepts of yoga philosophy, presented in a clear and logical format. Purchase your copy of Yoga & Psychotherapy and see how the timeless holistic techniques of yoga can make an impact in your life.

Review

"A very fortunate marriage of yoga, medicine and psychology." -- Stanislav Grof, M.D.

"The presentation is clear, free of spiritual and psychological jargon and obviously informed by extensive clinical practice." -- Brain Mind Bulletin

"This superb work is probably the best book presently available on what might be called Yoga Clinical Psychology ... marvelously clear and concise ... The book is outstanding (and non-doctrinaire), from its fine introduction to its solid bibliography. In summary, this is a must read." -- Journal of Transpersonal Psychology
