What Every Clinician Should Know (And What They Don’t Usually Teach You in Grad School)
This talk will begin by addressing what we know about effective treatment and challenge some cherished beliefs about who is effective. It will be an invitation for clinicians to investigate for themselves, and will address the role of mindfulness and how it actuates a therapists ability to be helpful to others, and will argue for mindfulness as essential training for clinicians and care givers of all theoretical persuasions. Paul Fulton, Ed.D., is a clinical psychologist, founding member and former president of the Institute for Meditation & Psychotherapy. Co-editor and co-author of Mindfulness & Psychotherapy (Guilford, 2005), he is a lifelong student of the interface between psychotherapy and Buddhist psychology, having received his doctoral degree in comparative human development at Harvard’s Laboratory for Human Development. He is former director of mental health at Tufts Health Plan, a forensic psychologist, and in private psychotherapy practice in Newton, MA.
