Title
Lack and Transcendence: The Problem of Death and Life in Psychotherapy, Existentialism, and Buddhism,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Whatever the differences in their methods and goals, psychotherapy, existentialism, and Buddhism are concerned with the same fundamental issues of life and death and deathinlife. In this unique work, David Loy brings all three traditions together for the first time in a synthesis receptive to the insights of each, thereby casting fresh light on familiar problems.Dr. Loy's work grew out of the crossfertilization of two basic ideas: the psychotherapeutic concept of repression and the Buddhist doctrine of nonself. Buddhism implies that our primal repression is not fear of death but the quite valid suspicion that 'I' am not real. This shift from libidoinstinct to the way we understand our situation opens up new perspectives and possibilities which this book explores.Written in a clear, jargonfree style that does not assume prior familiarity with the topics discussed, this insightful book will appeal to a variety of readers including psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, psychologists, scholars of religionparticularly of BuddhismContinental philosophers, and literary and culture critics.
