Il Buddhismo Zen e la realtà della sofferenza
by Tullio GiraldiQuesto libro postula che gli approcci occidentali della psichiatria e del cognitivismo non affrontano la varietà di fattori coinvolti nella sofferenza mentale esistenziale, mostra come le pratiche e i principi Buddhisti potrebbero contribuire al superamento dei limiti meccanicistici della psichiatria e delle terapie cognitivo comportamentali, ed esplora come il Buddhismo abbia svolto un ruolo nei tentativi sia Orientali che Occidentali di alleviare la sofferenza mentale. Offre una guida accessibile al ruolo che lo Zen ha svolto e, insieme al Buddhismo, potrebbe svolgere per alleviare la sofferenza mentale di natura esistenziale. Fin dai suoi inizi, 2500 anni fa, la convinzione centrale del Buddhismo è stata che ciò che percepiamo come "realtà" ne è una rappresentazione mentale, e questa visione è stata sostanziata dall'evidenza delle moderne neuroscienze. Il lavoro e il progresso della medicina, della psichiatria e della psicologia hanno tentato di alleviare le sofferenze della vita, ma allo stesso tempo gli attuali approcci alla salute mentale in psichiatria, nelle neuroscienze e nel cognitivismo non affrontano pienamente la complessità e l'interrelazione reciproca della varietà di fattori coinvolti nella sofferenza mentale. Il Buddhismo Zen, d'altra parte, incoraggia un accesso diretto alla realtà interna ed esterna non mediato dalle esperienze del sé, e quindi questo libro si sforzerà di esplorerà, rigorosamente, i modi in cui i suoi principi guida possono essere utilizzati per sostenere e migliorare le soluzioni cliniche occidentali alla sofferenza mentale.
