A provocative and trailblazing cross-disciplinary anthology.
Until this alchemical collection, no book had replaced the 1960 classic Zen
Buddhism and Psychoanalysis. Psychoanalyst Anthony Molino offers a bold new
alloy of these two major disciplines in a two-part anthology that spans and
documents a unique cross-fertilization of Eastern and Western thought. Part One
of The Couch and the Tree provides a historical overview of the classic writings
in this far-reaching and adventurous dialogue, while Part Two features a series
of brilliant contemporary works. Essayists include Adam Phillips, Mark Epstein,
Masao Abe, Polly Young-Eisendrath, and Michael Eigen. The uniqueness of both its
conception and its scope make this a truly essential volume.
Anthony Molino, a psychoanalyst, anthropologist, and award-winning translator of
Italian literary works, has edited collections of interviews with prominent
psychoanalysts. He lives with his wife and his son in Italy.
