Historical, Theoretical and Practical Foundations of Embodied Contemplative Psychotherapy and Psychosocial Change

This module compares and contrasts the basic science, sociocultural context and therapeutic methods of embodied approaches to transforming trauma in Buddhist India and the Contemporary West. It develops an interdisciplinary, inter-traditional framework for the science and practice of embodied healing and transformation, individual and collective based on a quantum complexity model of the human psyche as an open self-transcending system, inseparable from and constantly interactive with both its internal and external living environments.
