1. What is Taopsychotherapy?

To describe what Taopsychotherapy encompasses - in the ways it has been conceived of and pioneered by Prof. RHEE Dongshick -we could quite simply state that Taopsychotherapy is Prof. RHEE¡¯s psychotherapy of fusing the eastern Tao with western psychotherapy.
The therapist with his personality brings spring to the patient who is shivering in a frozen land.
- RHEE Dongshick


The essence of Taopsychotherapy is to bring spring to the patient who is shivering in a frozen land.
To achieve this, the therapist must purify his mind(ãýî±). This is Non-doing(wu-wei) of Laotzu, emptying mind(sunyata) of Buddhism, no projection(countertransference) of psychoanalysis.
