Abstract

Part II of this paper enumerates four additional attributes of mind derived from Zen that could enrich the training of a psychotherapist. These include: training and modulation of the therapist’s attention, the centrality of the concept of “here and now,” what it is and is not, and the natural unpressured emergence of compassion as a manifestation of the therapist’s nature.
