Fields compares Anglo-European and Indian philosophies of body and health and uses fifteen determinants of health excavated from texts of ancient hindu medicine to show that health concerns the person, not the body or body/mind alone.

Freud S Focus Badri S Basis And Religious Therapies

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Islamic psychology and Western psychology are two areas of knowledge that are often seen to be in conflict. This clash causes rejection of each other - or at least - the difficulty of reconciling the two. Islamic psychology stands on the belief that spiritual elements are very important and have a great influence on human psychology. Whereas Western psychology rejects the spiritual elements in total. Western psychology draws conclusions based on experience and scientific research methods that are necessarily observable through human senses. While Islamic psychology does not limit the source of knowledge through the senses and experience solely. Besides experience and senses as sources of knowledge, Islamic Psychology also makes the holy book al-Quran and Sahih Hadith (corpus of the sayings or traditions of the Prophet Muhammad) as the most important and reliable sources. Al-Quran emphasizes the spiritual elements of the heart, mind, and soul to understand human psychology. On the other hand, in the world of psychology, Freud is so close and synonymous with psychology that it is almost impossible to deny his contribution. While Malik Badri is a prominent figure in Islamic Psychology who first gave consciousness that Islamic psychology and Western psychology have different foundations, dimensions, and directions. In this keynote address, Professor Datuk Dr. Mohamed Hatta Shaharom tried to bridge the clashes between the two. He talked about Freud's views on humans and Malik Badri's criticism of the view. He also explained how the clash of the two can be harmonized and eventually can be used to achieve community well-being. We are very fortunate to have a scholar like Professor Datuk Dr. Mohamed Hatta Shaharom who are able to see both fields in a balanced way and offer a harmonious path so that we can adapt where necessary and respect each other.

Yoga In Modern India

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Yoga has come to be an icon of Indian culture and civilization, and it is widely regarded as being timeless and unchanging. Based on extensive ethnographic research and an analysis of both ancient and modern texts, Yoga in Modern India challenges this popular view by examining the history of yoga, focusing on its emergence in modern India and its dramatically changing form and significance in the twentieth century. Joseph Alter argues that yoga's transformation into a popular activity idolized for its health value is based on modern ideas about science and medicine. Alter centers his analysis on an interpretation of the seminal work of Swami Kuvalayananda, one of the chief architects of the Yoga Renaissance in the early twentieth century. From this point of orientation he explores current interpretations of yoga and considers how practitioners of yogic medicine and fitness combine the ideas of biology, physiology, and anatomy with those of metaphysics, transcendence, and magical power. The first serious ethnographic history of modern yoga in India, this fluently written book is must reading not only for students and scholars but also practitioners who seek a deeper understanding of how yoga developed over time into the exceedingly popular phenomenon it is today.

Principles Of Therapeutic Change That Work

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This book presents the findings of a Joint Presidential Task Force of the Society of Clinical Psychology (Division 12 of APA) and of the North American Society for Psychotherapy Research. This task force was charged with integrating two previous task force findings which addressed, respectively, Treatments That Work (Division 12, APA), and Relationships That Work (Division 29, APA). This book transcends particular models of psychotherapy and treatment techniques to define treatments in terms of cross-cutting principles of therapeutic change. It also integrates relationship and participant factors with treatment techniques and procedures, giving special attention to the empirical grounding of multiple contributors to change. The result is a series of over 60 principles for applying treatments to four problem areas: depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse disorders. This book explains both principles that are common to many problem areas and those that are specific to different populations in a format that is designed to help the clinician optimize treatment planning.
