Review

“Please read this book with a feeling of gratitude. Joseph Bobrow is a true teacher of meditation. He has walked his talk and he truly enjoys his practice.” - Thich Nhat Hanh“Writing in an electrifying prose that lights up continuously brilliant connections between psychoanalysis and Zen, Bobrow is nonetheless New York in motion: the New York of Whitman, Mailer, and Heller … Brilliant, moving, and unforgettable.” - Christopher Bollas“Often the most interesting places in our lives are found where two contrasting spheres of influence meet – those warm tidepools of the littoral zone that bristle with all sorts of fertile surprises. Joseph Bobrow’s book embodies just such a rich encounter in the interfacing of Zen and psychotherapy. His several decades of experience have enabled him to draw knowledgeably and freely from both disciplines. His narrative coaxes insights as often from academic papers, encounters and dreams, as it does from koans and dialogues of the ancients, poems, and song lyrics. All of these he has brewed together in the fecund pool of his own wisdom and thoughtful analysis, and what has emerged from that crucible is a fine book, brimming with life, and resonant with integrity and heart. It would be no surprise if people were quoting from it long into the future.” - Ajahn Amaro, co-abbot of Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery in Redwood Valley, California, author of Small Boat, Great Mountain; Silent Rain; Rugged Interdependency“His book, like the Zen teachings he has mastered, is smart, lively and provocative.” - Mark Epstein, M.D. author of Thoughts without a Thinker and Going to Pieces without Falling Apart“Zen and Psychotherapy is the most thoughtful book I’ve read so far in the important and burgeoning literature on Buddhism and Western psychology. His unusual gift for vivid theory and subtle distinction, as well as his grounded sense of what is really possible and worthwhile for the inner life, make this book a landmark for all of us who are in the business of continuing this crucial personal and cultural conversation.” - Norman Fischer, poet and Zen teacher, author of Sailing Home“Zen master and psychoanalyst, Joseph Bobrow has a rare depth and subtlety of experience in both disciplines and ways of life. After nearly 40 years of practice and teaching in each, he has written a definitive, clear and compassionate book that argues persuasively that Zen and psychotherapy are complementary traditions. Each challenges and enriches the other. Even enlightened Buddhist practitioners can expand themselves as individuals and in their relationships. Therapists and their patients can become more meaningfully aware of the depth of experience that lies beyond individuality and individuation. Mindful of differences, but also indivisible links, Bobrow challenges us to realize the integration of the personal and the universal in our daily lives. Anyone interested in psychological or spiritual ideas or practice will find much of value in this deeply gratifying and informative work.” - Gerald I. Fogel, MD, Training and Supervising Analyst and former Director, Oregon Psychoanalytic Center“This wise book provides a context for both psychotherapists and students of Buddhism to think in new and helpful ways. Its implications for trauma therapy, in particular, are substantial. I gained a lot from this book and highly recommend it to others.” - John Briere, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, University of Southern California, and Director, Psychological Trauma Program, Los Angeles County and USC Medical Center

While I frequently bring mindfulness and Zen into my conversations with clients, there was little practical help here. Far too analytic for the every man(woman) clinician....I gave up on it.

Among the many books that have recently appeared exploring the intersection between Buddhism and psychotherapy it is still rather rare to find a title authored by a person who has trained both to the level of a Zen master and a fully qualified psychoanalyst. Joseph Bobrow, who currently practices psychoanalysis and is also founder and Roshi of Deep Streams Institute in San Francisco ([...] is that rare person.Among the many intriguing things about Bobrow is his commitment to bringing his dharma practice and his analytic world view into relationship in ways that can be of practical help to others outside the zendo and the consulting room.Some years ago Bobrow began the work of the Coming Home Project that serves Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families ([...] The Coming Home project is neither Buddhist nor analytic but a practical and creative effort designed to help Veterans in many different ways. The Coming Home project exemplifies the creative trend of "engaged Buddhism" as well as showing Bobrow's commitment to a larger view of the "analyst-as-citizen".His recent book Zen and Psychotherapy: Partners in Liberation is another example of the creative interaction between his Buddhist studies and his analytic work. Written in accessible and conversational style, Bobrow effortlessly weaves stories of clinical practice and Buddhist reflections into a quietly captivating series of chapters.Some writers in this emerging genre take pains to demonstrate their scholarship or intellectual virtuosity. Bobrow is the opposite. His prose is so apparently open and simple that one might not notice how much experience exists in the background. In other words, this is a book that both beginners and seasoned students will enjoy. One can understand it without much preparation while others will appreciate its relaxed sophistication.I admire the quiet aliveness of Bobrow's writing. He is personal without being self absorbed. Some of his clinical vignettes are quite moving. In particular I like a story early in the book where he shares an experience with one of his patients as describes a moment of her emotional awakening. Bobrow neither turns away from it nor over describes it. Instead, he is present and shares something emerging that becomes meaningful to both. It is neither a Buddhist experience nor a psychoanalytic experience. Bobrow doesn't have to pin it down, name it, or concretize it. He allows it, instead, to just be what it is. It is something lived together, something whose meaning exceeds description. Bobrow is able somehow to convey the sense of something ordinary and of something special simultaneously. Experience is not fabricated here, instead, the habits of seeing oneself in a particular way just begin to loosen and fall away.Bobrow touches on many themes close to my heart, especially in such beautifully titled chapters as "Harvesting the Ordinary" which deals with such themes as suffering, reverie, and attention. I also resonated with his themes in "Presence of Mind" and "Knowing the Truth" which raise important questions and then explore issues in a to and fro of Buddhist and analytic perspectives.The overall experience of reading Bobrow is one of appreciation for how personally he has expressed his own experience. I get a sense of the texture of his thinking, how it resonates with my experience and the many different kinds of pathways that open up into new thoughts and ideas. His writing seemed to create a generative space for me.A nice phrase that Bobrow offers is "a glimmer of Suchness". That phrase describes the experience of reading Zen and Psychotherapy. One catches occasionally such glimmers. It is a generous work, not intending to convert anyone to any particular point of view, but rather sharing many points of view a refreshing and open way.

Although this is a book with a rather defined scope, Dr. Bobrow's treatise on these fascinating topics will satisfy any student of consciousness. Crafted and readable, it is approaches the topic of human expansion enjoyably and with soul. It highlights the overlap in both disciplines in a creative and innovative way, leading the reader on a new journey from the viewpoint of one with deep and practical experience. The personal anecdotes enliven the material in a way that brings real life and insight to these two fields. Suitable for professionals, practitioners and the discriminating seeker, this book is a benchmark in what could be a new field in itself. A real success.

With the turn of the colloquial phrase Joseph Bobrow captures the essential, wakes up the mind, opens the heart. The exploration may be conceptually complex but references authentic experience. A lay person can walk on solid ground without stumbling, travel the path with pleasure, and arrive with a new awareness of the nature of the journey.
