Abstract

In the new millennium, therapies of Indian psychology have gained renewed interest as a distinct and holistic approach to understanding the mind and human behavior. The essence of psychotherapy existed in India since time immemorial submerged in social structures, religion, ancient scriptures, mystics, and alternate system of medicine including Ayurveda, Unani tradition, Siddha and Yoga, and so forth. The popularity of Indian psychology in the West has been driven by a growing interest in mindfulness, meditation, and other Eastern spiritual practices, which are increasingly being incorporated into Western therapy and wellness programs that focus on treating mental disorders and addressing individual problems. Numerous Western psychologists and therapists are beginning to incorporate Indian psychology techniques and principles into their practice. Indian psychology is one perspective in understanding mental health and is not a substitute for modern evidence-based approaches to mental health care.
