ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with extensive Zen training and the impact it can have on the practice of psychotherapy. My starting-point was the feeling I had that such training made me work with clients differently than before and the wish to get a better understanding of the way in which these differences manifested themselves. Briefly I can say that Buddhism involves insights, exercises, and rules of life, which can be important for psychotherapists and which can complete, complement, or correct the theory and practice of Western psychotherapy.
