Abstract: | Discusses a method of clinical meditation that can aid a psychotherapist in exploring difficult clinical issues in psychotherapy practice. The meditative experience, which occurs in a group setting, shows some promise in fostering a nonthreatening, positive, self-regulated, ego-enhancing manner of exploring the psychotherapist's contribution to the treatment process and developing clinical insights. The method can be used by therapists to foster an ongoing program of self-exploration of clinical functioning leading to personal and professional growth.
