Asian Meditation Therapies and Related Techniques

Faculty: Fred Hanna

Syllabus
Textbooks ARE required for this course. Please refer to syllabus for specific information. <see below>

Various methods of meditation and related techniques are examined from Buddhist, Yoga, Hindu, Taoist, and Christian traditions.

Many meditation methods, such as concentration, mindfulness, surrender, bhakti, and a host of related spiritual and existential techniques such as being-there, forgiveness; inoculation of being, expansion of being, and many others will be studied and practiced. The emphasis is on applying these techniques with clients experiencing mental and emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression in order to achieve a greater degree of wellbeing and fulfillment. Research support and an extensive bibliography are provided. Asian conceptions of mind, ego, self, consciousness, mind/body, mental health, psychopathology, compassion, freedom, and liberation are covered with the aim of integrating these into psychotherapy. A portion of each class period will be devoted to the actual practice of techniques described.
