An exciting and promisingdevelopment in psychotherapyin recent years has been the demonstrated eectiveness

o Buddhist psychology ideas and methods – such as

mindulness – in addressing issues like anxiety, depression,

chronic pain and stress related symptoms. This vast

resource is only beginning to be tapped as ar as what it

may contribute to the enhancement o lives by increasing

the ability to cultivate compassion, wisdom, joy and skillul

ways o relating to others and to ones own experience. A

number o therapy approaches are seeking to incorporate

these concepts and methods. While or other systems, this

incorporation may require a shit in emphasis in order

to ocus on phenomenology, awareness, acceptance

and being present with ‘what is,’ these are cornerstones

o Gestalt therapy, making it uniquely compatible with

these approaches. Further, Gestalt therapy provides

direction or the clinical application o these ideas

within an experimental, experiential therapeutic model

that involves a ocus on the moment-to-moment

process within a dialogic relationship.
