French psychotherapist

#20

Hubert Benoit (1904–1992) was a 20th-century French psychotherapist whose work foreshadowed subsequent developments in integral psychology and integral spirituality.
His special interest and contribution lay in developing a pioneering form of psychotherapy which integrated a psychoanalytic perspective with insights derived from Eastern spiritual disciplines, in particular from Ch'an and Zen Buddhism.
He stressed the part played by the spiritual ignorance of Western culture in the emergence and persistence of much underlying distress.
He used concepts derived from psychoanalysis to explain the defences against this fundamental unease, and emphasised the importance of an analytic, preparatory phase, while warning against what he regarded as the psychoanalytic overemphasis on specific causal precursors of symptomatology.
He demonstrated parallels between aspects of Zen training and the experience of psychoanalysis.
He constructed an account in contemporary psychological terms of the crucial Zen concept of satori and its emergence in the individual.
