It looks at the therapeutic relationship from the perspectives of psychoanalytic intersubjectivity theory and Asian nondual philosophy, finding practical meeting points between them that illuminate crucial issues in psychotherapy, such as transference and counter-transference, the nature of subjectivity, and the role of the body. The book also includes a series of exercises developed by the author for realizing nondual consciousness in the clinical setting. Access to this subtle, unified dimension of consciousness develops both our individual human capacities-perception, understanding, love, and physical pleasure-and our relationships with other people. It thus has profound significance for both psychological healing and development, and for the relationship of psychotherapist and client.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Blackstone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791471845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791471845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.36w x 0.36d","brand":"Judith Blackstone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448948961535,"sku":"9780791471845","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a27d590-fef2-434c-89ce-34e5b9f15f25.jpg?v=1777261307","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-empathic-ground-judith-blackstone-9780791471845","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
