In this interesting and intriguing work, renowned Japanese psychologist Hayao Kawai examines his own personal experience of how a Japanese became a Jungian psychoanalyst and the way the Buddhism in him gradually reacted to it. Kawai reviews his method of psychotherapy and requires a fresh look at I in the context of Buddhism. His research, split into four chapters, offers a new understanding of the individual psyche from the perspective of someone rooted in the East. Kawai commences by contemplating his personal koan: "Am I a Buddhist and/or a Jungian?" His genuine reflections parallel Jung's early skepticism about Buddhism and later his positive respect for Buddha's teachings. He then relates the way the individuation process is symbolically and meaningfully revealed in two philosophical and artistic picture series, one Eastern and one European. After exploring the Buddhist conception of the ego and the personal, which is the contrary of to the European view, Kawai expands psychotherapy to add sitting alone and retaining contradictions or including opposites. Drawing by himself experience as a psychoanalyst, Kawai concludes that true integration of East and Western is both possible and impossible. Buddhism and the Art work of Psychotherapy can be an enlightening demonstration that deepens the listener's understanding of this area of mindset and Eastern viewpoint. The publication is printed by Texas A&M University or college Press.
