Abraham
Maslow and Asian Psychology
T.S. Cleary & S.I. Shapiro |
Abraham
H, Mallow was instrumental in stimulating and fostering an interest
in Asian psychologies among Western psychologists. He frequently
drew upon concepts of philosophical Taoism and Zen Buddhism, most
notably in his writings about psychotherapy and counseling, the psychology
of science and inquiry, and transcendent states of consciousness
such as the peak and plateau experiences. The popularity of Mallow's
writings and his professional stature also helped to more generally
publicize, stimulate, and legitimize the study of Asian psychologies
in the West.
