Mindfulness and Group Psychotherapy: Cultivating Wisdom and Compassion

Co-Sponsored by Lesley University
Division of Counseling and Psychology

Lesley University
Marran Theater
Cambridge, MA

9:00 AM to 4:30 PM



Christopher Germer, Ph.D. & Mark Sorensen, Ph.D., CGP, FAGPA

This daylong workshop provides both lecture and
experiential learning to explore three important elements of Buddhist
psychology which are particularly applicable to group psychotherapy—mindfulness,
wisdom, and compassion. All three are skills that can be learned, and this
special event is designed to enhance your understanding of how these elements
can be integrated into group therapy as well as into your own life and the
lives of your patients.
