 Frederic
Luskin, Ph.D.
In the Forgive for Good workshop and class series Dr. Frederic
Luskin presents the forgiveness training methodology that has been
validated through six successful research studies conducted through
the Stanford Forgiveness Projects.
Prior to the current surge in research interest the importance
of practicing forgiveness was extolled in both religious and
psychological traditions. Recently, Dr. Luskin's and other's
research has confirmed its virtues in the promotion of psychological,
relationship and physical health. Forgiveness has been shown
to reduce anger, hurt, depression and stress and lead to greater
feelings of optimism, hope, compassion and self confidence.
Dr. Luskin's work combines lecture with a hands-on approach to
the ancient tradition of forgiveness. Participants explore
forgiveness with the goal of reducing hurt and helplessness, letting
go of anger and increasing confidence and hope as they learn how
to release unwanted hurts and grudges. His presentations explore
the HEAL process of forgiveness that, when learned, can lead to
enhanced well-being through self-care. In class practice may include
guided imagery, journal writing and discussion all presented in
a safe and nurturing environment.Dr. Luskin holds a Ph.D. in Counseling
and Health Psychology from Stanford University.
He is the Co-Director of the Stanford-Northern Ireland HOPE Project,
an ongoing series of workshops and research projects that investigate
the effectiveness of his forgiveness methods on the victims of political
violence. He served as the Director of the Stanford Forgiveness
Project, the largest research project to date on the training and
measurement of a forgiveness intervention. He currently works
as a Senior Fellow at the Stanford Center on Conflict and Negotiation.
Dr. Luskin presents lectures, workshops, seminars and trainings
throughout the United States on the importance, health benefits
and training of forgiveness. He offers classes and presentations
that range from one hour to five weeks.
