CNC talks with psychotherapist Chris Willard about his book, Child’s Mind, to be published this summer by Parallax Press.
In the book, Chris discusses the benefits of teaching meditation to kids, adolescents, and young people. He not only presents scientific research, but also draws from contemplative traditions and uses storytelling to illustrate larger points.
He would also like you to know that Buddhists and other meditators are not doormats.
Chris Willard received his doctorate in psychology from the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology and is currently pursuing postdoctoral work at Tufts University. He has been meditating for over ten years and has participated in retreats with Thich Nhat Hanh, Jack Kornfield, Noah Levine, Pema Chodron and others in Asia and the U.S.
He is part of a growing movement within psychotherapy that seeks to integrate meditation and mindfulness practices into therapy and to study their effects.
