The American Institute for Psychoanalysis

This event addresses: On the aspects of Western psychoanalysis and Eastern meditative traditions

Interest in blending Eastern meditative and Western psychotherapeutic traditions is burgeoning, yet we have only begun to realize what these rich traditions can teach each other. In this presentation—a combination of lecture, meditation practice, and dialogue with the audience—Dr. Jeffrey B. Rubin will explore what he terms meditative psychoanalysis, a practice that blends the best aspects of Western psychoanalysis and Eastern meditative traditions (heightened concentration and mindfulness, decoding unconscious meaning, and liberated intimacy) into a more encompassing synthesis.
