Three paradigms in Indian psychotherapy are described. The Bhagvad Gita paradigm guides the individual, instead of exploring the edges of individuality. The guru–chela paradigm is analysed with its power dynamics, focusing on authority, context and morality instead of normality. The Abhyasa paradigm accentuates the interpersonal dimension of the therapeutic relationship. It gives the non-specific factors in Western psychotherapy a central position. Their significance for Western psychotherapy is discussed
