- 소개/요약This book looks to inhabit the interstices of that "growing commerce" of which Christopher Bollas writes in China on the Mind, his masterful exploration of what we may broadly term the differences between Western and Eastern thinking. In aiming, therefore, to promote the ongoing integration of their respective "frames of mind" (I hesitate here, in such a volitional project, to use a word like "unconscious"), Crossroads in Psychoanalysis, Buddhism and Mindfulness will, by necessity, document just some of the challenges, conflicts, pitfalls and "wow" moments that inhere in today's historical and cultural intersections of theory, practice and experience. These crossroads are rich beyond belief in integrative potential, as baffling as they are fertile, capable of inspiring just as readily—at opposite ends of a volatile spectrum of human emotions and attitudes—squinty suspicion or facile devotion. My intent in compiling the book, its guiding principle, has always been to offer a window onto aspects of the commerce of which Bollas writes. Onto the practices of analytically-oriented psychotherapists, themselves of different "climates" and cultures, who break out of the seclusion of the consulting room to think, translate, meditate on and mediate their experiences (generated via the maternal order) in such a way as to make those experiences thinkable (via the necessary filters of the paternal order of language). In this light, the book's subtitle, The Word and the Breath—the privileged "instruments," respectively, of psychoanalysis and meditation—should come as no surprise.
