"In this lucid and thoughtful book David Brandon, an experienced social worker and practising Buddhist, examines how we can develop social worker and practising Buddhist, examines how we can develop a genuine compassion for those we aim to help. For the mentally ill, the depressed and the delinquent, this does not mean forcing them to fit into patterns society has laid down for them; it requires a compassionate, harmonious understanding of their needs, which can be achieved through a Zen perspecitve. The guilt of past actions and the foreboding about future events is removed. Concentration on the here and now, as practised in meditation, allows for an unorthodox but practical and effective way of helping, free from egotism and the harmful intrusion of self."--from back cover.
