Schuman presents a penetrating analysis of conceptual issues, richly illustrated throughout with clinical material. In so doing, she both clarifies important dimensions of psychotherapy and illuminates the role of \"storyteller mind\" in the psychological world of lived experience. The set of reflections comprises an unfolding deep inquiry in its own right, delving into the similarities and differences between mindfulness-informed psychotherapy, on the one hand, and mindfulness as a meditation practice, on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFilling in an outline familiar from psychoanalytic theory, the book explores basic concepts of Self, Other, and \"object relations\" from an integrative perspective which includes both Buddhist and psychoanalytic ideas.
