By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people! Does This Kid Need Medication? with Ron Taffel

Do you feel like you could be a more effective therapist with your younger clients? Do you find it hard to determine when interventions--psychological and pharmacological--might be needed?

Friday Workshops
210 310 Therapy as a Wisdom Tradition Part 1 & Part 2
Christopher Germer
Friday All-Day: Two Part
As therapists, we want to be "wise" and hope that from years of practice, we've accumulate a certain amount of "wisdom." What does "wisdom" mean and how do we practice it? . . .
In this workshop, we’ll discuss the nature of wisdom and its different manifestations in different circumstances, including spiritual enlightenment, psychological acuity, self-knowledge, and emotional freedom. Using meditation, lecture, clinical vignettes, poetry, research, and discussion, we’ll explore wisdom as an active, ongoing life practice, focusing on how to cultivate the preconditions of genuine wisdom: openness, full presence, non-defensiveness, and compassion. We’ll discover how mindfulness and self-compassion can help us to cultivate healing relationships, prevent burnout, promote understanding and acceptance of ourselves and others, guide us through impenetrable situations, and, ultimately, show us how to “live well.” (This session will continue with Workshop 310.)
Christopher Germer, Ph.D., a clinical instructor in psychology at Harvard Medical School and faculty member of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy, is the coeditor of Mindfulness and Psychotherapy and author of Mindful Path to Self-Compassion.
