Japanese Psychotherapies
The book presents three Japanese psychotherapeutic approaches, Morita, Naikan, and Dohsa-hou, in the chronological order of their development, giving a thorough account of both their underlying concepts and practical applications. In addition to describing their idiosyncrasies, a major focus of the book is also to elucidate as to how the deeply imprinted cultural specificities of these approaches, emanating from their common cultural ground, converge to two focal points—silence and body-mind interconnectedness—that vest the approaches with their therapeutic power. In so doing, the book gives an insight into the intrinsic dynamics of the methods and emphasizes on their potential for universal applicability notwithstanding their indisputable cultural peculiarities. This self-contained and well-structured book fills the gap in the yet scarce English-language literature on Japanese psychotherapies.

Eastern Practices and Nordic Bodies
This volume explores the reception, development and construction of Eastern practices in the Nordic countries. The focus is on spirituality, medicine and healing from a lived religion perspective. Besides a geographical focus on the Nordic countries and their characteristics, this collection examines the embodied practices aligned with different expressions of religiosity, alternative medicine, spirituality and healing practices. By addressing questions about how so-called Eastern practices are embodied, spread and materialized, the contributors shed light on a cultural change in Nordic societies regarding religious, spiritual and alternative health practices, that are sometimes at odds with the dominant medical discourse about life-threatening diseases and other types of conditions.
Naikan: The Japanese Art of Self-Reflection; The Power of Gratitude and Grace in Everday Life
LEARN TO SEE WHAT’S HIDDEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. IT’S SEEING WHAT’S HIDDEN THAT MAKES THE VIEW EXTRAORDINARY. NAIKAN is a Japanese word that means “inside looking”” or ““introspection””. A more poetic translation is ““seeing oneself with the mind’’s eye””. Drawing on Eastern spiritual and psychological traditions, Naikan is a unique method of self--reflection for cultivating self--awareness, gratitude, empathy, and a path for moving forward in our lives. Through Naikan we develop a natural and profound sense of gratitude for blessings bestowed on us by others, blessings that were always there but went unnoticed. This is the 20th anniversary edition of this influential book. Author Gregg Krech, now after more than 30 years of teaching Naikan, shares the depth of his experience with essays, parables, poems, quotations, and recommended reflection exercises. The edition includes new material on relationships, a seven-day practice program, and guidelines to help mental-health professionals apply a Naikan perspective to counseling and therapy.

Editor C. Pierce Salguero and an internationa...
Naikan - Eintauchen ins Sein 2
Naikan ist eine einfache, jedoch sehr tief gehende Meditations-Methode, sich selbst zu erkennen, blockierende, aus der Kindheit oder späteren Traumatisierungen stammende Verhaltensmuster aufzulösen und das Leben zu verwirklichen, das wir leben wollen. Naikan öffnet in uns innere Türen, von denen wir oft nicht einmal ahnen, dass sie da sind. Keine andere Methode kann dies in so kurzer Zeit und führt uns zugleich in tiefste Schichten unseres Selbst. Trotzdem ist Naikan ein sicherer Weg dorthin, weil wir nur erfahren, für das wir bereit sind. So können wir uns mit uns selbst einlassen. 1980 fand im Buddhistischen Zentrum Scheibbs in Niederösterreich erstmals ein Naikan-Retreat außerhalb von Japan statt. Seither haben hunderte Naikan-Retreats allein im deutschsprachigen Raum stattgefunden und tausende Menschen haben in Naikan ein hilfreiches Instrument der Selbsterfahrung und Selbstheilung gefunden.

Understanding Addiction as Self Medication
Addictive behaviors beg for an informed explanation to guide patients, families, students, and clinicians through the maddening and often incomprehensible nature of the addictions. Too often addiction is perceived to be merely a moral weakness or purely a brain disease, ignoring the deep personal pain that can permeate the lives of the addicted. But taking an honest look at the underlying emotional or mental issues can more clearly illuminate not only the causes of the addiction, but also the cure. Doctors Edward J. Khantzian and Mark J. Albanese, leading researchers in the field of addiction, see addictions primarily as a kind of self medication—a self medication that can temporarily soot...
