Overview
Thirteen essays consider ways in which the traditions and practices of Western community psychology can be informed and enriched by Buddhist teachings, which transcend the individual to recognize the interconnectedness of all things and the relatedness and responsibility of individuals towards one another, to build sustainable communities. The 12 international contributors include academics, researchers, and practitioners in psychology, psychiatry, and Buddhism. Academic but accessible to the general reader.
