Psychosis in Buddhism and the Buddhism Treatment Method

Abstract

This article mainly discusses Psychosis in Buddhism and the Buddhist treatment method by analysis and synthesis from the study in the Bachelor of Buddhist Program (Buddhist Psychology) and Master of Buddhist Program (Psychology Life and Death) Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University. Both are integrated programs between Psychology and Buddhism. However, the difference between Buddhism and Psychology is that Buddhism considers a mental problem that is not only a mental illness patient or psychotic patient. Furthermore, it considers the problems of every person still suffering or impaired. In other words, Buddhism is interested in the suffering of every ordinary person who cannot end suffering. So this is the issue that Buddhism is interested in: the problem of every ordinary person in ordinary society and extends to all problems affecting every person’s life and society. Psychology places importance on scientific methodology as objectivism or investigation by experimental as concrete objects and visible perception, for example, overt behaviors, behavior expressed in society, Etc.
