The Buddha's Radical Psychology: Explorations - Paperback

by Rodger R. Ricketts Psy D. (Author)

My aim in writing this book is to explore, from a modern psychological and biological perspective, what the Buddha was telling us. The ancient text and the modern point of view both complement and clarify each other. I see there is much to be learned through a comparative approach while at the same time keeping the Buddha's original doctrines at the core of the discussion. This approach unveils a unique and cogent perspective that incorporates the traditional Buddhist teachings, with the research and study of modern scholars and scientists. Therefore, this book goes beyond what is usually taught in traditional Buddhist as well as comparative psychology texts.
