The Couch and the Cushion: Why Mindfulness Is No Substitute for Therapy
Meditation may promote well-being and insight, but it isn’t a cure for psychological problems.
Rande Brown
Rande Brown (1949–2025) was a founding board member of the Tricycle Foundation and served as its executive director from 2002 to 2006. She co-authored Geisha, A Life with Mineko Iwasaki and later practiced as a psychoanalyst in New York, writing on the intersections of Buddhist practice and psychoanalysis.
