“…Many modern scholars, who are not necessarily personality psychologists, have continued in the tradition of Jung, Weber, and the others, making links between psychology and religious traditions. Psychoanalysts, for example, link psychoanalytic therapy to both Judaism and Buddhism (e.g., Bergmann, 1995;Fromm, 1960;Gresser, 1994;Lothane, 2001;Morvay, 1999;Safran, 2003), and studies of Buddhism and the associated practice of meditation and their relationship to mental and physical health have appeared in the major psychological journals (e.g., Seeman, Dubin, & Seeman, 2003;Wallace & Shapiro, 2006;Walsh & Shapiro, 2006).…”

Almost every traditional personality theorist had something to say about religion, but the topic of how religious beliefs might affect individuals' views of human nature remains largely unstudied. All religions, however, contain certain implicit ideas regarding personality that are likely to impact individual behavior. This article draws on Islamic sources to consider what a practicing Muslim might believe about motivation, personality development, the self, the unconscious, psychological adjustment, and the individual and society. In general terms, understanding these beliefs can be useful in the broader study of how cultural issues affect personality. More specifically, understanding Islamic beliefs related to personality can assist in planning for the provision of psychological services to Muslims, as well as understanding the psychological perspectives of Muslims who are not extremists.

There has been an explosion of interest in Buddhist philosophy, psychology and practices among psychologists within the past few years. Interest in Eastern religions is not new, however, Buddhist practices have been particularly well received within the more popular psychology or "self help" community. For example, movements such as EST and its' permutations, which are designed to help devotees improve psychological well being by becoming more self aware and here and now focused have deep roots in Buddhist thought. The interest has continued to expand and the commonalities are being studied from an ever-widening perspective.It appears that a major source of the commonality stems from a shared focus and goal. The common vision is the study of the individual with the ultimate purpose of the alleviation of suffering. Both disciplines seek to delve into the depths of human functioning to explicate our realities. The psychological study of human behavior has developed a host of explanations for human suffering or "psychopathology", including theories of unconscious unmet needs or dysfunctional learning and/or environments. The practice of Buddhism also has sought to achieve absolute happiness or enlightenment to the individual and to society by a focusing on self and self-development. Buddhist tradition has contemplated and propounded various psychological theories as part of its' overall philosophical explanation of the ultimate nature of existence. Buddhist philosophies have attempted to address the issue of human suffering and it's relief. Shakyamuni, the person who first expounded Buddhism was moved to abdicate his princely life and engage in his Bodhisattva practices by his despair over the suffering of his Chapter 4 105
