| Abstract: | The current integrative review investigated thematic studies relevant to incorporating Chinese Buddhism into counselling, psychotherapy, psychology, and mental health; identified topical and methodological gaps; and, finally, proposed future research directions for developing Chinese-Buddhism-oriented counselling theories. The review search included 22 Chinese and English databases, selecting 146 publications (n?=?130 in English; n?=?16 in Chinese). Results indicated that (i) three prominent themes were how compassion, Mahāyāna, and loving-kindness could be integrated into therapeutic interventions, (ii) 63.7 % were theoretical discussions, whereas 26.7 % were empirical inquiries, and (iii) only 2.1 % used primary source data. Considered overall, the findings reveal a need to explore more fully Chinese-Buddhism-based counselling theories by Buddhist first-hand materials and involving qualitative methods. |
