Psychology and Meditation

Catalog description

Taught by GTU. Psychology and Religion can be symbiotic conversation partners when considering the myriad practices and theories associated with "meditation." In this seminar we will read foundational sacred and secondary texts from Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian traditions, putting them in dialogue with relevant work from the field of Psychology. Grading will be determined by attendance, participation, and a 15-page term paper. This course is appropriate for all Masters level students, and is taught by Ph.D student Daniel Moceri with a Newhall Award under the supervision of Gabriella Lettini.
