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

This day-long 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.

Germer, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist in private practice, a clinical instructor in psychology at Harvard Medical School and a founding member of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy. Dr. Germer lectures internationally on self-compassion and mindfulness and is the author of several books on the subject including The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion.

Mark H. Sorensen, Ph.D, CGP, FAGPA is a clinical psychologist in Newton Highlands. He is the former director of group therapy at Westwood Lodge Hospital and the founder of Group Solutions Network, Inc. A Fellow of the AGPA, Dr. Sorensen leads both process groups and specialized groups for the treatment of social phobia using a mindfulness-based approach.
