Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention are Third Wave Western psychological approaches that all derive directly from Buddhism. This interactive workshop will inform attendees on how to better understand the essential teachings of Buddhism, to better inform how to treat those suffering from co-occurring disorders.
