Auto Process Therapy: A Therapeutic Application of Buddhist Psychology

The Way is in the heart - Buddhist proverb
"One of the Buddha's central teachings was anatta, a word which literally means 'non-self'
but more accurately translates as 'no unchanging self.' Brian Ford translates it as 'process-self.' There was no word for 'process' in the language that the Buddha spoke. But if there had been, he would have used it. He consistently referred to the self as a fluid process rather than a stable essence. The Buddha did not intend anatta to be an esoteric doctrine for academic discourse. Rather, he meant it be a practical tool for relieving suffering. Like several others, Brian Ford brings the ancient wisdom of process-self to life by surrounding it with practices and techniques that can be used in the nitty-gritty of modern psychotherapy. In so doing, he makes the Buddha's teachings more accessible. And, more importantly, he helps infuse his clients with the practical, liberating insights of the Buddha."
