<div>Being and Becoming is a wide-ranging analysis of the
nature of being and selfhood. The book presents an original,
integrated paradigm with the aim of creating a comprehensive
overview of the human condition—and finding ways to alleviate
suffering. In essence, the book explores the question, “What does
it mean to be?” 
 
Being and Becoming begins with fresh interpretations of the
work of Martin Heidegger and Buddhist, Taoist, and Christian
writings as they relate to this question. Most of Being and
Becoming, however, is about the nature of self and selfhood as
a process of “I-am-this,” “my becoming” rather than “my being.”
Author Franklyn Sills interweaves concepts from object relations
theories, psychodynamics, pre- and perinatal psychology, and
Buddhist self-psychology, along with his own rich experience as a
Buddhist monk, somatic therapist, and psychotherapist, into his
inquiry. The works of Fairbairn and Winnicott are discussed in
depth, as are Winnicott and Stern’s insights into the nature of the
early holding environment, the infant-mother relational field, and
early perceptual dynamics. A thoughtful guide for psychologists,
therapists, counselors, and other health professionals, the book is
also ideal for Buddhists and anyone looking for alternative therapy
models.</div>

“In Being and Becoming, Franklyn Sills offers us a

psychology. He presents an integrated paradigm for understanding
the nature and development of selfhood and the suffering involved
in its dynamics. He also stresses the importance of developing a

“Franklyn Sills is a true pioneer—working in fields that can seem
so different yet just yearn to come together in intelligent and
comprehensible ways: psychotherapy, Buddhism, and perinatal
psychology. The result is an almost unimaginably moving synthesis
that is, at the same time, usable in a down-to-earth way by
clinicians from diverse backgrounds and in a variety of settings.…
Sills wears his immense learning lightly and is an affable and
empathic guide into some difficult and mysterious areas of human
experience, suffering, and joy.” 
—Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of
Essex, U.K., Visiting Clinical Professor of Psychoanalysis, New
York University, and author of The Plural Psyche: Personality,
Morality and the Father 
  
“Franklyn’s work, drawing together the insights of Buddhism and the
understanding of psychotherapy, encourages each individual to bring
their spirituality into the healing process. In this book, he draws
on a lineage of analysts, psychotherapists, and Buddhist masters,
as well as his own years of fieldwork to provide an in-depth and
pragmatic guide. His writing forms a very solid, pragmatic, and
technically sound exhortation to workers in the field to develop
their compassion, their mindfulness and sensitivity, rather than
just see patients through the lens of a textbook.” 
—Ajahn Sucitto, Abbot of Chithurst Monastery, Petersfield,
U.K. 
  
“Sills draws on a lineage of masters from many modalities:
analysts, psychotherapists, Buddhist masters, as well as from the
field of perinatal psychology, and his own many years of fieldwork…
Sills considers therapy and the resolution of suffering as a
reclamation of sorts, a return to our inherent spirituality. Based
upon this experiential idea, he has constructed an in-depth and
pragmatic guide for therapists wishing to develop their compassion,
mindfulness, and sensitivity, and more effectively restore their
clients to a sense of spiritual well-being.” 
—Keeping in Touch, The United States Association for Body
Psychotherapy
