[Pre Order] Mindfulness-Based Contemplative Psychotherapy: A 9-month advanced certificate training

This 9-month training program provides a comprehensive foundation for integrating contemplative psychology and meditation practice into contemporary psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, object relation, interpersonal, family-systems therapies and related care giving fields. You’ll learn how to use mindfulness-based psychotherapy to combine safe, exploratory dialog with time-tested practical skills and age-old contemplative insights aimed at embodying your clients’ innate potential for healing and happiness.

Learn key insights from one of the world’s oldest surviving psychologies to help you understand the nature of the mind, assess symptoms, determine etiologies and prognosis and offer effective treatment in a manner unlike any contemporary system.

You’ll hear lecture and participate in meditations led by today’s leaders in meditation and contemplative science:

• Sharon Salzberg, the most prominent Buddhist meditation teacher in the West and acclaimed author
• Joe Loizzo, M.D., Ph.D., Nalanda Institute Founder, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and Columbia-trained Buddhist scholar with over forty years’ experience studying the beneficial effects of contemplative practices on healing, learning and development

• Emily Wolf, Ph.D., director of the Nalanda Institute’s Contemplative Psychotherapy Program and private practice clinician focused on integrating contemplative methods into Western psychodynamic therapy

Go beyond simple versions of mindfulness into the depth and sophistication of its original method of mediation prescribed in contemplative science.
