Healing East and West: a Dialogue on Buddhism, Judaism, and Psychotherapy in this Historical Moment … a Conversation

Professor Mark Unno, a specialist in classical Japanese Buddhism who has also published two edited volumes on Buddhism and psychotherapy, and Dr. Jonathan Seidel, a scholar of classical Judaism and Jewish mysticism, will discuss the current interface of these ancient religious traditions with psychotherapy. The focus of the intersection is how they contribute to our understanding of the mind-body problem and the healing of our suffering especially in this particular moment in history (the current economic crisis and global economic situation which is affecting millions) which is fraught with suffering caused by schisms that divide not only mind and body, but spirit and matter, self and other. They will also explore the role of gender in the paradigms of healing.
