Originally published in 1979, The Dynamic Psychology of Early Buddhism was a psychologist's attempt to understand what the Buddha meant by "dependent origination" (paticcasumappāda, sometimes translated as "causality").
Rune E. A. Johansson (1918-1981) was born in Sweden. At the University of Lund he studied psychology and languages, among them Sanskrit and Pali, obtained his Licentiate Degree in 1954, and lectured there in psychology for some years. He travelled and studied extensively in the Orient, studying Sanskrit at the University of Calcutta and Pali at the University of Ceylon. During 1966-7 he was visiting Professor at the University of Tel Aviv, and later head of the Biotechnical Section of the Research Institute of the Swedish National Defence. He was also closely associated with the University of Uppsala, Sweden.
