Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom "Contemplative Psychotherapy Essentials is a lucid guide to the rich healing work that has grown from the convergence of Buddhism and psychology. Sure to be a seminal text for students, established professionals in the field will also find it indispensable. I'm happy to think of the wholesome seeds that will grow from this contribution by Dr. Wegela."
