Mindfulness techniques originating in centuries-old Buddhist meditation practice are increasingly being used in Western psychotherapy. This article focuses on the use of one such mindfulness rubric: “the four steps”—in which Chan (the Chinese term for Zen Buddhism) practice and psychoanalytic psychotherapy process can be integrated clinically. A case example is presented. In this case the therapist was a Taiwanese immigrant and a practicing Buddhist, the supervisor an American psychoanalytic psychotherapist. The supervisory exchange was an important aspect of this convergence of Eastern and Western thought.
