The Other Centred Approach is a psychotherapeutic methodology developed by the International Zen Therapy Institute. The main details are given in books by David Brazier (1993, 1995, 1997, 2009, 2013) and by Caroline Brazier (2003, 2009). The approach is an application of Buddhist analysis, according to the notion of conditioning of the mind presented in the Pali Abhidharma, and especially the form of conditioning called aramanna: mind states are conditioned by their objects. The approach is not simply a technique or protocol, but rather a way of understanding what is happening that is suggestive of a range of possible therapeutic interventions. These interventions are, in many cases, different in direction from those prescribed by other commonly used forms of psychotherapy. It can be argued in favour of the Other Centred Approach that it avoids two common undesireable side effects of many other methods, namely their tendency toward enhancement of self-pre-occupation and the occurrence of resistence based on attachment to self image. In the Other centred Approach the client's attention is mostly focused outwards, upon the other rather than upon self, and the work therefore constitutes not only a way of resolving personal issues by opening up new possibilities, but also, and simultaneously, a training in positive engagement with the real world.
