Brendan Collins

Brendan Collins, Ph.D., has been a clinical psychologist since 1978. His areas of interest include the relationship between contemporary psychology and Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. He serves as a core faculty member in both the East-West Psychology and Integral Counseling Psychology programs. He studied with Haridas Chaudhuri at the California Institute of Asian Studies, and earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology in a program developed by Carl Rogers at United States International University (1977). He was a post-doctoral fellow in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, 1977-1978, and completed a Master of Theological Studies degree at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley in 1995, the year he joined the CIIS faculty. For twelve years he was a member of a Benedictine monastic community, and is currently a lay associate of St. John’s Abbey, Collegeville, Minnesota. He has a strong interest in psychology and the arts, especially photography and dance.
