These are the stories of people who have jobs (volunteer or professional) working with those who suffer serious illness and want spiritual support to be part of their care. When compassion for the suffering of others brings people into this line of work good things can happen for both the care provider and the recipient. My take on it is that it's not about religion or any particular religion, but neither does it exclude religious experience. It was a wonderful surprise to realize that chaplains and other professionals seek to support sufferers in whatever they find meaningful, and not to assert their own patterns of faith. I learned that Buddhist practices are very well suited to compassionate work and that they can promote growth and collaboration between people who have differences. I agree that these are pioneering voices and I hope they are heard.

Even if you are not buddhist. Likewise it is good for those interested in Buddhism, even if you are not interested in ministry or chaplaincy.

Chaplaincy and contemplative care are more about the people needing caring support and deep listening, than about spiritual practices. Each chapter is written by someone working in a specific field of chaplaincy, and they bare their experiences, struggles and feelings deeply. It is a wonderful book.

If you are currently working in Chaplaincy, or considering it, this is an excellent resource. Many very experienced chaplains give their advise and experience in it. Covers Hospital, Institutional, and other types of work. One of if not the best books on the topic of Chaplaincy and a must for Buddhist chaplains.

In this engaging and intriguing work, renowned Japanese psychologist Hayao Kawai examines his own personal experience of how a Japanese became a Jungian psychoanalyst and how the Buddhism in him gradually reacted to it.

Kawai reviews his method of psychotherapy and takes a fresh look at I in the context of Buddhism. His analysis, divided into four chapters, provides a new understanding of the human psyche from the perspective of someone rooted in the East.

Kawai begins by contemplating his personal koan: "Am I a Buddhist and/or a Jungian?" His honest reflections parallel Jung's early skepticism about Buddhism and later his positive regard for Buddha's teachings. He then relates how the individuation process is symbolically and meaningfully revealed in two philosophical and artistic picture series, one Eastern and one Western.

After exploring the Buddhist conception of the ego and the self, which is the opposite of to the Western view, Kawai expands psychotherapy to include sitting in silence and holding contradictions or containing opposites.

Drawing on his own experience as a psychoanalyst, Kawai concludes that true integration of East and West is both possible and impossible. Buddhism and the Art of Psychotherapy is an enlightening presentation that deepens the listener's understanding of this area of psychology and Eastern philosophy.

The book is published by Texas A&M University Press.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous insight into the intersection of East & WestReviewed in the United States on December 10, 2005

This is a unique & inspired book by the 1st Jungian analyst in Japan, who provides rare & unusual insight into the differences & similarities between East & West psychology- both theoretical & personal. Kawai provides inputs from his family's Jodo (Pure Land) sect as well as his "2nd Master" the Buddhist monk Myoe's (1173-1232) Kegon (Garland) sect & Zen (both Soto & Rinzai). He begins with an eye-opening biography of his personal journey to both Jungian psychology & Buddhism with relationships to Freud's & Rogers' psychologies. He expands on his friends' Spiegelman & Miyuki's "Buddhism & Jungian Psychology" analysis of the Zen Ox-herding Pictures, including photos both Ku-on's & a contemporary Japanese woman's version (but not Pu-ming's) & a similar comparison with the alchemical Rosarium Philosophorum but with an interesting chart comparing the titles of each plate-pointing out the amazing similarity. Many of his observations are revealed in a personal manner--he shares himself with the reader.

Comparing East & West: p. 110: "Complementarity of Buddhist `eachness' & Western individuality" & pp. 30-1: "I found that my psychotherapy was deeply related to what Buddhist sutras deal with," & p. 102: "Jung's concept of synchronicity belongs to the thought pattern of interdependent origination." He references specific sutras to buttress his views/observations. From his comparisons of sutras vs. Jung's psychology, it seems that the "Collective Mind" in the sutras resembles Jung's Self (see The Awakening of Faith sutra). On the other hand, p. 105: "Jung, as a psychologist, limited his work to considering those things which can be grasped by ego & then verbalized," p. 106: "Probably I still have a different kind of ego from Westerners. Compared to the Western ego, the Japanese ego is living far more `in everything,'" pp. 130-1: "When I sit with a client in the therapy session, I am sometimes reminded of the motto, `just sitting,' appreciated by the Soto monks-not caught by `treatment' or `solution,' but simply sitting..."Sometimes I feel that client's complaints are similar to koans, at least for the therapist," & p. 147 note 2: "During Thomas Merton's visit to the East, he discovered that Buddha encompassed both self & no-self; that is, he discovered `the Middle Way'."

He also shines a light on some contemporary issues 1) in Western Buddhism from a united perspective: p. 19: "When getting close to someone, even a great man, you start to see his shadow side. Living in Japan, you sometimes see or know about a `great Zen master,' but when you find out that, even after he reaches `enlightenment,' his selfish aspect, for example, remains as great as before." He notes, however, that the same can hold in psychoanalysis! 2) modern Jungian psychology--powerfully defining what it is to be a Jungian. 3) Explaining important Buddhist concepts in modern terms: p. 31: "Monks did not `read,' they chanted it. It was in chanting the sutra, while repeating many similar & gracious names, that transformation of consciousness was to be expected. You can approach the sutra only though this sort of consciousness." [~the Ecstatic Kabbalah of Abraham Abulafia] & p. 89: from an old Buddhist story-"The "I" of a human being is a composite of various elements. It's only temporarily formed into one thing. Foolish people captured by this "I", suffer a great deal. Once you know what this real I is, your suffering with disappear at once."

3.0 out of 5 stars Need to be clear on what you are looking for here.Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2008

This is a well written high quality book, but I was a little disapointed. I think if you are a Jungian it might be of a more interest because that seems to be its strength. There are many questions left unadressed. I would have like to have had a cogent discussion of the differences, for instance, in the Jungian and Buddhist notions of Self. Kawai points out that Spiegleman (one of his influences) takes issue with the Buddhist notion of no self...or at least feels the idea needs to be reframed. But he doesn't really elaborate. I was looking for a discussion that would bridge what appear to be theoretical differences between the "All Self" of Jung (and Vedanta), and the "No Self" of Mahayana. Didn't get it. In Chapter 1, Kawai writes that "...I have no intention of writing about psychotherapy based upon Buddhist ideas or of comparing Jung's theories with Buddhist cosmology." So that was that. But without that discussion it is difficult to make the leap from Psychology to Psychotherapy -- and after all, the book is entitled "Buddhism and the Art of Psychotherapy." So I felt the book was a little dissapointing. But again, there are some intersting things in this book for Jungians. There is a unique and interesting correlation explored between the Rosarium Philosophorum and the 10 Ox-herding Pictures of Zen, for instance.

5.0 out of 5 stars The work and life of the psychotherapist Dr Hayao KawaiiReviewed in the United States on October 12, 2010

A fascinating and clearly written explanation of the introduction of Jungian Psychotherapy into Japan, its transformation into the mainstream of counseling and group therapy practice and the teaching of psychology, and the influence of the life and work of Dr. Hayao Kawai in the planting of Analytical Psychotherapy into Japan and the promotion of integration of a broad range of psychotherapies in the service of the people of Japan. Still as timely and thought provoking as when it was first published in Japan, it is a book that makes one question the wisdom or otherwise of adhering solely to a single school of psychotherapy in the service of our clients and patients.

5.0 out of 5 stars 心理学に関心があり、英語で内容がある本を読みたい人にお勧めです。Reviewed in Japan on February 18, 2019
Verified Purchase

　河合隼雄氏による仏教と心理療法の本である。これはアメリカの分析心理学会での河合氏による講演を基にしている。
　西洋の心理療法家の中には、仏教に深い関心を持っている人達がいる。彼らによれば、西洋が科学を発達させるために多大な努力をしたのに対して、東洋では人間の心、意識の問題を深く探求して来ており、そのために人間の心や意識の問題については、膨大な研究の蓄積があり、その多くは仏教などの経典として残っているという。
　ユングは、西洋の人が持つ心の病気はしばしば、強固になりすぎた自己意識が原因で、それを解決するためには、「自我」(ego)を超えて、もっと広い「自己」(self)へ至らないといけないと考える。これを自己実現と呼ぶ。
　河合は、自己実現と仏教の悟りの共通点なども詳細に説明していく。私は、自己実現の方が、悟りよりも普通の人に可能な範囲ではないかと考える。そうすると、心理学から仏教に興味を持つだけでなく、仏教の実践者からも心理学への道が開ける。
　実際には、河合氏は、小さい時から仏教には抵抗を感じていて、仏教に関心を持ち始めたのはかなり後で、心理療法を進めていくうちに、アメリカで十牛図や曼荼羅に出会ったという。さらに、心理療法で経験を積んでから、次第に仏教から学ぶべきことが多くあることが分かったという。
　河合氏は井筒俊彦氏の本から多くのことを学んでいるようだが、かなり難解な井筒氏の本を、心理療法という現実的な見地から読むということは、私には驚きである。
書かれている英語はとてもわかりやすいので、しっかりした内容を英語で読むという貴重な経験ができる。

電気うさぎは耳かきの夢を見るか
5.0 out of 5 stars 仏教、日本人のメンタリティ、西洋文化との対比など。Reviewed in Japan on March 15, 2010
Verified Purchase

David H. Rosen氏による序文によると、英訳された河合氏の４冊目の本とのこと。
でも内容的には西洋人向けに書かれているので、河合先生が直接英語で書いたのか、日本語で書いて誰かが翻訳したのかな、と思ったり。日本国内向けに書いた文章ではないです。
米国のユング派の研究所が出しているブックシリーズから刊行。
ふーん、テキサスにもこういう人達がいるんですね。

河合先生がなぜ米国留学、スイス留学することになったのかという話、少年時代の敗戦経験から日本文化を嫌って西洋文化に憧れたこと、でも欧米での勉強過程で自分が日本人であることを意識するようになったこと、帰国後に心理療法をするうちに自然と日本的、仏教的な考えに近づいて行ったことなどが語られています。これらの話は既に河合先生の様々な日本語著作の中で語られていることですが、英語で西洋人に対して語っているのを読むのも興味深いと思います。

他には、禅の「十牛図」と西洋のアルケミー（錬金術）の男性性・女性性の統合図との対比、現代の日本人女性が描いた新しい十牛図の紹介（表紙が中国的に見えますが、この日本女性の描いた十牛図のうちの1枚です）、仏教の概念、西洋、東洋や日本の意識・無意識の捉え方の違いなどについて語られています。

西洋と日本のメンタリティの違いを英語でどう語ればいいんだろう、と思っている方はお読みになってみると興味深いかと思います。日本人として日本人について読んでも興味深いです。なるほど、と。

ユング派心理学に興味のある人向けに書かれているため、ユング派の概念や箱庭療法がどんなものかを全く知らないと理解しにくいかもしれません。一般人にも読めますので、心理学の専門家である必要は全然ないのですが。
箱庭について簡単に知りたい方は、朝日文庫から出ている『ブッダの夢』（中沢新一氏との対談）をお勧めします。

私は仏教に造詣が深くないので、Part4の肝心な仏教のところがよく理解できませんでした。
阿頼耶識（あらやしき）とか。名前は知っているんですが、難しい。

西洋文化と東洋文化の統合は不可能でもあり、可能でもある。
河合先生をしてこう言わせしめるんですから、相互理解は簡単ではないんでしょうね。
しかし、日本人が西洋文明と付き合って行くことの精神的な難しさを早くから指摘していたのは、改めて卓見であったと感じる次第。

Loneliness is everybody’s business. Neither a pathology nor a rare affliction, it is part of the human condition. Severe and chronic loneliness, however, is a threat to individual and public health and appears to be on the rise. In this illuminating book, anthropologist Chikako Ozawa-de Silva examines loneliness in Japan, focusing on rising rates of suicide, the commodification of intimacy, and problems impacting youth. Moving from interviews with college students, to stories of isolation following the 2011 natural and nuclear disasters, to online discussions in suicide website chat rooms, Ozawa-de Silva points to how society itself can exacerbate experiences of loneliness. A critical work for our world, The Anatomy of Loneliness considers how to turn the tide of the “lonely society” and calls for a deeper understanding of empathy and subjective experience on both individual and systemic levels.

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover

"Ozawa-de Silva has written what amounts to a book of wisdom for the art of living. It develops a theory of human relational meaning which it applies to understand the nexus of suicide, loneliness, social isolation, and failure of finding meaning in relationships. It makes a fundamental contribution to anthropological and psychological studies of subjectivity and suicide.”
––Arthur Kleinman, author of The Soul of Care: The Moral Education of a Husband and a Doctor

"Ozawa-de Silva has produced an exquisite ethnography that vividly captures the existential pain people experience that is irreducible to psychiatric categories like “depression.” Investigating internet suicides and the aftereffects of natural disasters, she offers valuable cross-cultural insights into how people recover the will to survive from the depth of despair." ––Junko Kitanaka, author of Depression in Japan: Psychiatric Cures for a Society in Distress

"Excavating the phenomenon of internet group suicide in Japan, Ozawa-de-Silva was led into a study of the loneliness that both accompanies and transcends this practice itself. Anatomizing this as the feeling of being uncared for and unneeded, directionless and disconnected, alone and socially homeless, the author identifies what has become a subjective state as pervasive as painful in Japan today. In what has become symptomatic of our times, loneliness demands the analytical care, theoretical precision, and ethnographic sensitivity that this book brings to the subject. A much-needed, beautifully executed Anatomy of Loneliness."––Anne Allison, author of Precarious Japan

"The Anatomy of Loneliness is a beautiful and haunting look at the human need for connection and purpose, and the consequences of living in a society that increasingly isolates us from each other. Chikako Ozawa-de Silva masterfully mobilizes her rich ethnographic data to make the case for a radical reframing of how we think about emotional distress and how to help those who are suffering. Written in a clear and accessible style, The Anatomy of Loneliness is an example of anthropological research and writing at its best, offering a nuanced and powerful look at how building 'a life worth living' is a communal, rather than an individual, task."––Rebecca J. Lester, author of Famished: Eating Disorders and Failed Care in America

"Ozawa-de Silva deftly wields the tools of cultural anthropology to build a solid argument that loneliness is not simply a personal problem, but a social one. This book leads readers to consider how misguided social policies can exacerbate the problem. Its insights, grounded in ethnographic fieldwork in Japan, help us see anew the relationship between the psychological and the cultural so that we may understand more deeply our current global epidemic of loneliness."––Clark Chilson, University of Pittsburgh

Uchimura Kanzo (1861–1930) was an independent, original, and thought-provoking pioneer of Christianity in modern Japan. His theological values were organically linked with his aspiration for living and practicing such evangelical ideas as prophetic existence, neighborly love, social justice, pacifism, patriotism, and internationalism in the sphere of public life. Uchimura's commitment to the interaction between religious thought and social life is apparent in his well-known epitaph: "I for Japan; Japan for the World; the World for Christ; and All for God."

In this interdisciplinary, multi-angled approach to Uchimura Kanzo, the contributors shed light on the inner logic, meanings, and modes of interaction between the religious and social thought observable in Kanzo.

"Theological Studies" Uchimura Kanzo was a representative Christian leader and thinker in the Maiji and Taisho periods of Japan. He is well known as a prolific biblical commentator, a pacifist Christian thinker, and an advocate of a nonchurch type of Christianity. . . . He is worthy of continued study and remains inspiring and refreshing not merely as a Christian thinker but also as a social thinker.
