Description

Yoga Therapy Darshana is an essential reference for yoga therapists and yoga teachers wanting to facilitate transformative change. Written by a PhD in clinical psychology and a yoga therapist at the forefront of his field, Yoga Therapy Darshana draws upon thousands of years of wisdom from Himalayan yogis. These gurus were in effect pioneers in the field of cognitive neuroscience millennia before it became a formal discipline. Dr. Minoru Kamata has combined the modern science of psychotherapy with wisdom gleaned from ancient sacred texts to reveal to you a path to total health. He skillfully combines his in-depth knowledge of traditional Raja Yoga and modern psychology to provide a comprehensive and practical model for therapist-client dialogue that enables therapists to realize yoga therapy’s potential as a mental-health practice. After explaining the basic concepts from traditional yogic texts that are at the foundation of yoga therapy, he explains key points for communicating with clients clearly, provides key points for effective and informative intake interviews, and emphasizes the importance of informed consent. His attention to examining subjects of attachment that create suffering and clear explanations of how yoga therapists can help clients release their attachment is revolutionary. His treatment of this topic leaves no doubt that yoga therapy is a powerful mind-body practice that has the potential to create profound and positive change.
