Andrea F. Polard
Dr. Polard's training as a psychotherapist included various psychodynamic therapies, mind-body therapy, Buddhist-oriented therapy, Zen meditation, and mindfulness practice. When she discovered that happiness was indeed possible for all, she decided to share with others the necessary, consciousness-building skills for it. As writing had long been her passion, Dr. Polard soon started on "A Unified Theory of Happiness: An East-Meets-West Approach to Fully Loving Your Life" -- a project that took her twelve devoted years to complete. It is a book that is not only to inform, but delight the reader. Since then Dr. Polard founded the Los Angeles Center for Zen Psychology, offering Zen psychotherapy, consultations, workshops, training, and meditation groups, based on both Western and Eastern thought. She lives with her husband and their three children in the quiet mountains of Topanga. For more information, please visit www.AndreaPolard.com
