Where Do We Want To Take This?

With Rick Hanson and Steven C. Hayes

This open discussion between Rick Hanson and Steven Hayes, will explore how process-based approaches can contribute to solving human problems and promoting human prosperity. Processes such as compassion and mindfulness have a proven impact on mental health issues, but the implications of that success may have an even broader reach. These two leaders, with expertise in evidence-based psychotherapy and in linking modern neuroscience to wisdom traditions, will consider how we can use a process-based focus to better marry modern technology to the needs of people worldwide. They will explore such issues as how to address biopsychosocial needs more comprehensively, how to go beyond existing models of care, and how to address the uniqueness of people in ways that will create more rapid human progress individually and socially.
