Marjorie Schuman presents a cogent framework which engages the patient at the levels of narrative, affective regulation, and psychodynamic understanding. Blending knowledge of contemporary psychoanalysis with the wisdom of Buddhist view, she examines how mindfulness can be integrated into psychodynamic treatment as an aspect of self-reflection rather than as a cognitive behavioral technique or intervention.\n\nThis book explores how mindfulness as a \""self-reflective awareness practice\"" can be used to amplify and unpack psychological experience in psychodynamic treat.
