> PENSÉES SANS PENSEUR, La psychologie bouddhique de l’esprit, de Mark Epstein (2015, Albin Michel, 328 p.). — En 1930 : Freud écrit à son ami Romain Rolland : « Avec votre aide, je vais maintenant essayer de pénétrer dans la jungle des enseignements traditionnels de l’Inde. J’aurais vraiment dû m’atteler plus tôt à la tâche… »
Pourtant : Freud, comme la plupart de ses disciples, ne comprit pas vraiment la dimension psychologique fondamentale de l’expérience bouddhique. Or, ainsi que nous l’explique le célèbre psychiatre américain Mark Epstein, le bouddhisme comporte pour les psychothérapeutes contemporains un enseignement essentiel : depuis longtemps, il a mis au point une technique pour s’attaquer au narcissisme et le dépasser, but que la psychothérapie occidentale n’a que récemment entrevu. Le présent ouvrage a été le premier à expliquer l’apport des enseignements bouddhiques à la psychanalyse. Traduit en de très nombreuses langues, ce classique est ici repris avec un avant-propos inédit de l’auteur.

> Les pensées surgiront.
En soi, cela ne constitue pas la pensée.
C'est seulement quand la pensée « Je »
s'implique avec elles
que la pensée psychologique et le penseur naissent. —MOOJI*

Traditional distinctions between matters of the mind and matters of the spirit are increasingly being questioned, and people are searching for alternate perspectives on these issues. Thoughts Without a Thinker is a major contribution to today's exploding discussion of how Eastern spirituality can enhance Western psychology. In it, Mark Epstein argues that the contemplative traditions of the East can be extremely beneficial to patients, not just in helping them recognize their problems, but by giving them the strength to heal. Clearly written and very accessible, this enlightening guide explains the unique psychological contributions of the teachings of Buddhism, describes the path of meditation in contemporary psychological language, and lays out the possibility of a meditation-inspired psychotherapy.

Epstein is a meditation teacher as well as a psychotherapist, and he draws on both traditions to help explain how we get ourselves so stuck in suffering, and then how we can find a way out. Insightful and engaging. ( )
