Clinical Intervention and Reflective Believing

WHAT: Thầy’s presentation, coming in two parts over three hours, is based in a Process Model of reflecting on clinical encounters from the point of view of Buddhist teaching.

The model can be used in reflecting on clinical situations either in a group setting or in working one to one with a supervisor and has three purposes: 1. to consider the context, process and outcome of a clinical encounter, 2. to engage in a spiritual / Dharma reflection on the encounter and 3. to remain open to personal learning / transformation based in the Dharma reflection.
