Forgive for Good: The Art and Science of Forgiveness
Presented by Stanford Center for Integrative Medicine
The workshop is led by Dr. Frederic Luskin,
director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project
and author of Forgive for Good, published
by Harper Collins.
The importance of
practicing forgiveness has been extolled
for centuries, but only recently has
research demonstrated that forgiveness
can reduce anger and depression as well
as enhance hopefulness and self-efficacy.
This workshop series has four sessions of
lecture and discussion interspersed with
guided practice of forgiveness tools. The
format is not intended as group therapy but
rather to teach self-care skills to heal old
wounds and prevent new ones.

Improving Outcomes in Schizophrenia with Early Interventions
Presented by Stanford Hospital Health Library
While there is still no cure for schizophrenia, treatments have been developed that help reduce many symptoms of the disease. There are many medications now available to help treat schizophrenia.
