While Buddhist philosophy and meditation offer many powerful tools for profound spiritual development, they do not address all the specific psychological issues faced by Westerners. For instance western psychotherapy asserts that attachment is the basis for healthy development, suppressing anger can lead to depression, personal preferences and self-assertion are important. Aronson offers student of Buddhism helpful methods of identifying and working with difficulties that arise from this culture conflict.
