Pilar Jennings brings both a psychoanalytic and Buddhist perspective on mental health.  We discuss psychosis and dissociation in light of the two modalities.  We also touch on themes of ‘self’ as seen by both Buddhists and psychoanalysts.  And we also talk about the crazy times we are living in and how we can all manage our own anxieties.Pilar Jennings, PhD, is a psychoanalyst in private practice with a focus on the clinical applications of Buddhist meditation.  She has been working with patients and their families through the Harlem Family Institute since 2004.
