Lack and Transcendence The Problem of Death and Life in Psychotherapy, Existentialism, and Buddhism

Whatever the differences in their methods and goals, psychotherapy, existentialism, and Buddhism are concerned with the same fundamental issues of life and death and death-in-life. In this unique work, David Loy brings all three traditions together for the first time in a synthesis receptive to the insights of each, thereby casting fresh light on familiar problems. Written in a clear, jargon-free style that does not assume prior familiarity with the topics discussed, this insightful book will appeal to a variety of readers including psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, psychologists, scholars of religion -- particularly of Buddhism -- Continental philosophers, and literary and culture critics.Loy, David is the author of 'Lack and Transcendence The Problem of Death and Life in Psychotherapy, Existentialism, and Buddhism' with ISBN 9781573927208 and ISBN 1573927201.
