Other Centered Therapy

A Buddhist approach to therapy is concerned with the way in which we relate to others. Can we really relate to the people we encounter in life fully as people, or do we treat them as instrumental to our needs? Can we appreciate their ways of thinking and behaving or do we try to fit them into our patterns of expectation? Other-Centred Approaches are particularly concerned with helping clients to live in a more honest, appreciative relationship with the others in their lives, helping them to live in empathic connection rather than self-centred
alienation. This course block will explore the fundamental qualities of an other-centred relationship and the paradigm that underlies this approach. This course block falls between the publication of David Brazier's new book Love and Its Disappointment and Caroline Brazier's book Other-Centred Therapy. It draws on theory from both these significant works. The Other Centred Approach is at the cutting edge of psychotherapeutic theory and this is an unparalleled opportunity to be involved in this important development.
