Editorial Reviews
Review
"A very fortunate marriage of yoga, medicine and psychology." -- Stanislav Grof, M.D.
"The presentation is clear, free of spiritual and psychological jargon and obviously informed by extensive clinical practice." -- Brain Mind Bulletin
"This superb work is probably the best book presently available on what might be called Yoga Clinical Psychology ... marvelously clear and concise ... The book is outstanding (and non-doctrinaire), from its fine introduction to its solid bibliography. In summary, this is a must read." -- Journal of Transpersonal Psychology

By P. Lubrecht
Format:Paperback
If you have ever tried to conceptualize the difference between the brain and the mind this book will be of great interest. I was also fascinated with the author(s) description of the psychotic, the nuerotic, and the mystic. I believe this book will be appreciated by anyone who has enjoyed studying psychology and wants to continue the study as it progresses after the achievement of a healthy ego.

It's easy to get overwhelmed in the study of the structure of consciousness. We can start with the symbolic and highly poetic images from the Bhagavad Gita and Rumi. We can plunge into the esoteric, nearly impenetrable treatises on the arcane aspects of yoga and meditation with all the chakras and sheaths and such. We can lose ourselves in the wealth of western psychological advice about self-actualization, avoiding neurotic behavior, and disciplining our self-talk. We can vicariously sit in on those immensely profound conversations with Krishnamurti, trying to learn from his cool, intellectual analysis of the real and the unreal.
But the question remains. How can these wildly divergent sources of help be woven together into a comprehensible whole?
One way is to get two swamis and a western-trained medical doctor together to create a blended presentation of all these traditions. That is exactly what this book provides.
The authors describe how they worked through their own confusion, often staying up all night in the process. The result is "a comprehensive theory of personal evolution which incorporates the best of both systems [east and west]."
I thank them for overcoming their confusion because the book helps me overcome mine. This book is dense and challenging, but it rewards the hard work of anyone who studies it diligently. I recommend it highly.

Really an amazing book, which opens your mind to completely new dimensions. By simply reading it you can get cured of various misunderstandings about the nature of your mind and incorrect reasoning. Through binding the ancient Indian way of understanding mind processes with the modern psychology of Western kind it widens the horizons of modern psychology and psychotherapy - which since is no more binded and kept away from the spiritual sheath.

A highly insightful discussion of the relationship between the two. A pleasure to read and essential for any psychotherapist interested in more than 'the surface'.
