dc.description.abstract | Buddha lived 2600 years ago in Northern India, and his teachings were established in Sri Lanka in the third-century BC. In the nineteenth century, the British established the modern mental health services in Sri Lanka. This article aimed to highlight the association between Western psychotherapeutic techniques with Buddhist teachings and the relevance of this confluence to the mental health care in the country. Many schools of Western psychotherapy employ principles which are also described in Buddhist philosophy. Understanding this connection helps to deliver a culturally acceptable and relevant mental health care to the Sri Lankan population | en_US |
