In Yoga and Western Psychology - A Comparison, Geraldine Coster bridges the gap between Eastern spiritual practices and Western psychological theory.

Yoga and Western Psychology - A Comparison by Geraldine Coster is a pioneering work that explores the intersections and divergences between the ancient discipline of Yoga and the principles of Western psychology. This insightful book offers a unique perspective on how these two fields, each rich in tradition and knowledge, can inform and enrich one another.

Coster begins by outlining the fundamental principles of Yoga, delving into its philosophical roots, key practices, and its ultimate goal of spiritual enlightenment. She then compares these aspects with Western psychological theories, particularly those concerning the human mind, behavior, and the process of self-realization. The comparison is both enlightening and thought-provoking, revealing surprising parallels and insightful contrasts.

Central to the book is the examination of the mind according to Yoga and psychology. Coster discusses concepts like consciousness, the subconscious, and the ego from both perspectives, offering a comprehensive understanding of how each discipline perceives human mental processes and emotional well-being.

The book also explores the therapeutic aspects of Yoga, particularly its practices of meditation and mindfulness, and compares them with psychotherapeutic techniques used in Western psychology. Coster presents a compelling case for the integration of Yogic practices into modern psychological therapy, highlighting the benefits of a holistic approach to mental health.
