Abstract: "This paper began as an attempt to show that Christian psychology was both different than, and possibly superior to, Buddhism psychology, due largely to differences in the mindsets of the two religious groups which had grown up over the millennia. It also began with the thesis that Christianity might be superior for counseling, given its relational nature, and therefore, if that were provable, it might be wise to incorporate into Buddhism those aspects which would make it more relational. First, I will attempt to construct a psychological system which might arise out of the tenets of each religion and mindset. Second, I will examine each of the resulting psychological theories. Third, I will use the strengths and differences to make us more aware of the state of current Christian psychological theory induced by Western culture, and what the Buddhism which induced by Eastern culture.
