Meditation can bring peace and mental stability, as described in ancient Buddhist texts. Meditation also gives us clear comprehension, which is an ability to see what's going on inside our minds. While at times this can be wonderful, for most people, this will result in periods where we notice how much pain and dysfunction exists within our own psyche. In Sanity and Sainthood, clinical psychologist and longtime meditation teacher Dr. Tucker Peck shows how to use the tools of psychotherapy to help heal the wounds that meditation reveals. This book will give you an introduction to key concepts in Theravada Buddhist philosophy and meditation, as well as an introduction to various schools of psychotherapy. You'll learn how to combine psychotherapy tools with meditation, as well as a map for what to expect from this integrated approach.
