Author(s) : Joseph Bobrow

Reviews and Endorsements

'Writing in an electrifying prose that lights up continuously brilliant connections between psychoanalysis and Zen, Bobrow is nonetheless New York in motion: the New York of Whitman, Mailer, and Heller. Brilliant, moving, and unforgettable.'
- Christopher Bollas

'His book, like the Zen teachings he has mastered, is smart, lively and provocative.'
- Mark Epstein, M.D. author of Thoughts without a Thinker and Going to Pieces without Falling Apart

'Zen and Psychotherapy is the most thoughtful book I've read so far in the important and burgeoning literature on Buddhism and Western psychology. His unusual gift for vivid theory and subtle distinction, as well as his grounded sense of what is really possible and worthwhile for the inner life, make this book a landmark for all of us who are in the business of continuing this crucial personal and cultural conversation.'
- Norman Fischer, poet and Zen teacher, author of Sailing Home

'This is a quiet book that works you, not simply informs you. Bobrow embodies unconscious affective communication between psychoanalysis and Buddhism. He's lived it. The book carries it. The reader experiences it.'
- Charles Spezzano, PhD, author of Affect in Psychoanalysis and co-editor of Soul on the Couch
