Recenzii

`This is a very important contribution to research into meditation, and also poses some major questions for all psychotherapists.' The British Journal of Psychiatry
`For its scholarship, for its readability, and for the understanding and sensitivity which Michael West, himself an experienced meditator, brings to this theme, this book deserves to become a standard work in the field...a worthy addition to the literature, and a stimulus to any psychologist who wants to research into meditation, especially to those who plan to do so by taking up the practice and researching themselves.'The Psychologist
