Activist Buddhist Psychology

Lisa invites clinicians to join her on the activist side of Buddhist psychology. Western psychotherapy has never been big on collective healing. A large methodological defect left unaddressed for a century or more. The frightening changes happening around the world demand psychotherapists renounce complacency, convention, denial and cowardice, and commit to sustained social activism. This deluded world needs us to become warriors for clarity, tolerance, and collective care. To devote our work to rooting out delusion wherever it arises and fearlessly light the lamp of non-suffering in a world of dark, intense suffering.Join the conversation on the Integrative Psychotherapy Substack.
