Spirituality and Psychoanalysis documents an all-day conference exploring the meeting ground between these two disciplines. Hameed Ali was a featured guest who shared the podium with Zen Priest, Dianne Musho Hamilton, and Peter Carnochan, Charles Dithrich and Karen Peoples of the psychoanalytic community. In his presentation that opens the day, Hameed has the opportunity to articulate the way he sees the Diamond Approach to spirituality drawing on the understandings of psychoanalysis, as well as going beyond them. Later, there is discussion between members of the panel and then questions from audience members to the panel. This is an unusual and fascinating context to experience Almaas in dialog with psychoanalytic practitioners—something he has been interested in since he wrote his Diamond Mind books, such as The Pearl Beyond Price and The Point of Existence. 3 hours 40 minutes, 2 DVDs
A. H. Almaas is the pen name of Hameed Ali, the Kuwaiti-born originator of the Diamond Approach, who has been guiding individuals and groups in Colorado, California, and Europe since 1976.
