Right hemisphere functioning in Buddhist Psychotherapy

WHAT: This is part of the AABCAP conversation series which draws mainly on the ground-breaking research of Dr. Iain McGilchrist, psychiatrist, and Allan Schore, neuropsychologist, that demonstrates the primary role the right hemisphere of the brain has in understanding spiritual experience and emotional development. Together, they provide an evidence base for the practice of Buddhist-influenced psychotherapy that cultivates a healthy balance between the hemispheres.

Finally, it will discuss how the three fundamentals of Buddhist practice, the cultivation of spiritual insight, serenity, and ethical conduct, can be understood in the light of the different functions of the right and left hemispheres.

This is a hybrid event occurring in person at the Buddhist Library, Camperdown and online.
