More and more, Western clinical psychology is turning to the great Wisdom traditions of the East to supplement its understanding of human suffering and the creation of meaning and happiness in human life. Buddhist psychology, in particular, is adept at creating the penetrative insights that can transform how we understand and work with our thoughts and emotions. This is especially true for the treatment of grief and loss, psychological trauma, and personality and mood disorders.
