More About This Keynote
The question of whether psychotherapy should be viewed as a science or an art form has bedeviled the field for decades. Then Marsha Linehan developed Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which integrates mindfulness training from Eastern spiritual traditions with an effective therapeutic methodology that’s constantly studied and refined, making it highly successful even with the most challenging clinical populations.
