Abstract

The article focuses on the development of "contemplative psychotherapy" in the United States, particularly through the work of psychoanalyst Edward Podvoll at Naropa University during the 1970s and 1980s. It discusses Podvoll's psychiatric background and his efforts to integrate Buddhist principles with Western psychotherapy, highlighting his interactions with notable figures such as Chögyam Trungpa and Oliver Sacks. The research examines the establishment of the Windhorse community therapy model and reflects on the complexities that arise when merging spiritual and clinical approaches to mental health. Ultimately, it contributes to ongoing discussions about the intersections of Eastern and Western psychological practices. [Extracted from the article]
