Eastern philosophy in clinical psychology refers to the influence of Eastern philosophies on the practice of clinical psychology.

Historical clinical psychologists

  • Karen Horney studied Zen-Buddhism.[1]

  • Erich Fromm collaborated with D. T. Suzuki in a 1957 workshop on "Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis";[3] wrote the foreword to a 1986 anthology of Nyanaponika Thera's essays.[4]

Contemporary clinicians

  • Marsha M. Linehan incorporates mindfulness techniques (particularly Zen practices) in her Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) which has been found to be particularly effective with Cluster-B personality disorders.[5]

Techniques used in clinical settings

  • Vipassana - trains one to perceive the momentary arising and dissipating of all phenomena, nurturing the calm, detached recognition of all things' impermanence and interdependence.
