I haven't listened to all of this, however, it has allowed me to understand why my original analysis was not effective, for a myriad of reasons. Mark seems to be a very good therapist, and now I have many new thoughts and ideas regarding the therapeutic model, generically speaking. Now days, there are many therapeutic modes from which to choose. Seekers ought to shop around to find the best fit for themselves. Seriously.
The trick is to avoid the trap of explaining EVERYTHING in buddhism with a psychology framework. Such an exercise is useful, instructive and meaningful even. But let's be humble enough to accept that psychology may not even begin to scratch the surface of Buddhism. Anyone who can't accept this premise would do well to just stick with psychology.

He is very interesting to listen to. Great lack of arrogance too.
Thank you for posting
Fascinating, thanks for sharing
Wonderful.
wonderful.
People who he related to as friends, paid him money to talk to him, and he refers to them as patients. Interesting. Nice job.

I would be more interested in opinions on wastern mental health organisations taking buddhist teachings and not giving buddhism credit.
