Abstract
Rabindrik psychotherapy refers to the way of self-awakening with therapeutic postulates extracted from the literary works of Rabindranath Tagore. It is the paradigm shift in treatment of psychological disorders. When classical psychotherapy emphasizes on labelling the disorders, Rabindrik psychotherapy is free from labeling. When classical psychotherapy emphasizes on talk therapy, Rabindrik psychotherapy gives stress on performing arts therapy. Both tend to reconstruct the disequilibrium states of consciousness through therapeutic customization. In classical psychotherapy, psychotherapist plays active role. But in Rabindrik psychotherapy, psychotherapist facilitates the environment and client him or her self can customize the situation through Rabindrik performing arts. Therefore, in classical psychotherapy, client assumes self as patient or client but in Rabindrik psychotherapy client never labels him or herself. In Rabindrik psychotherapy, client can not think how he or she is recovered.

¬ Rabindrik psychotherapy assumes that
consciousness is composed of three layers - Murta, Raag and Saraswat. Attention, sensation, perception are
adversely affected when murta layer is deformed or
disoriented. Feelings and emotions affect our cognitions in Raag layer. Saraswat layer minimizes errors in
cognition, emotion and strengthens harmony with environment. Saraswat layer provides feeling of peace,
and negative entropy. The layers are dynamic. Dynamicity is determined by
the changes in the physical environment or in the psychological field. Any
change causes vibration and vibration starts to move across layers. Impact of
vibration on consciousness depends on the strength, duration, properties of
vibrating agents, resiliency, and acceptability of consciousness. Rabindrik therapist customizes dynamicity
in the consciousness through positive vibration followed by consciousness
diagnostics. Rabindrik psychotherapist must be
proficient with (a) consciousness layer dynamics, (b) therapeutic postulates,
(c) customization and precautions in therapy. This lecture will focus on
these three things with case studies.
