Product Description
Book Description
A Call to Compassion is the first book to look at how Mahayana Buddhism complements psychotherapy. Compassion is central to Mahayana Buddhism's goal of liberation of all sentient beings, and this book is essential for anyone involved in the helping professions. It explains how Buddhist philosophy of innate mental health can bring balance to psychology's focus on mental illness, and includes a clear review of the work of Freud, Jung and others.
About the Author
In private practice as a psychotherapist since 1991, Aura Glaser (Michigan) has studied with some of Tibetan Buddhism's greatest living masters.

A Book that Can Transform You & Your LIfe, May 26 2005
By Rochelle R. Winter "M.S.W." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Call To Compassion (Paperback)
What a beautifully written, and inspiring "call to compassion" this book is! Aura Glaser presents nothing less than the revolutionary idea that Freud and Jung stopped short of exploring the power of compassion in the true transformation of suffering. It took an accomplished psychologist, teacher and Buddhist practitioner, someone with 25 years of meditation experience, to call us to experience a total, radical replacement of our troubled minds and closed hearts, with wisdom and compassion. Her eloquent voice, her depth of insight into Freud's and Jung's work, her easy way with the wisdom tales of old, and her obvious clarity and fullness of heart shine through on every page. She weaves an exquisite tapestry of erudite and practical understanding, using myths and stories, and offering big-hearted solutions and understanding of how we can come into our wholeness. I unequivocally, whole-heartedly love and recommend this book.Rochelle Winter, M.S.W.

An Answer to the Call, Feb 16 2007
By C. J. Stern - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Call To Compassion (Paperback)
Though I ordered this book when it came out it is unfortunate for me that I didn't begin to read it until now. It fills and illuminates gaps that you hadn't realized were present until Ms. Glaser articulates them. It is an excellently written, learned, and ardent, volume that ought to be read by each of us as we are all affected by by the consequences of a world that has yet to emphasize a dearth of compassion. A beautiful, much recommended, publication.

A search to better understand the workings of the human mind, April 14 2005
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Call To Compassion (Paperback)
Author Aura Glaser combines her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and her long-term study of Buddhism to present A Call To Compassion: Bringing Buddhist Practices Of The Heart Into The Soul Of Psychology, a discussion that blends revelations of Freud, Jung, and the Buddha in its search to reveal better ways of helping oneself and others in need. Various chapters discuss the "compassionate revolution" of Tibetan Buddhism, a comparison of what Freud and Buddhism both reveal about human desire, the "alchemy" of the feelings within the heart, and more. A deeply spiritual search to better understand the workings of the human mind and apply transcendental wisdom.
