Dr. Anupam Jash : Jaina Psychology: An Introduction
From the contents of this treatise it is evident that what an enormous contribution the Jaina thinkers have made in the field of Jaina psychology. The author also carefully did his job in textual analysis of this subject and selecting the technical terms of Jaina psychology. Parshvanath Vidyapeeth produced this hardback with earnest attention and charmingly without printing mistakes. The author also provided a detail index of 6 pages and 4 pages bibliography to this scholarly presentation which is another valuable addition to this volume and it will be of great assistance to the young researcher of Jainism.
