Meditative Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis: Pathways to Healing and Transformation

This work-the culmination of four decades immersed in psychoanalysis and Eastern mind-body disciplines-introduces a unique method uniting these wisdom traditions. Rubin demonstrates how therapy and meditation compensate for each other’s blind spots, providing richer understanding and opening unexpected pathways to healing and transformation.
