Abstract: Despite compelling evidence that gratitude is associated with a host of positive psychosocial outcomes, considerably less attention has been given to gratitude interventions in psychotherapy. In this webinar, Dr. Joel Wong will provide an overview of research on gratitude clinical interventions and also address practical strategies to infuse gratitude practices into psychotherapy. These include gratitude journaling, gratitude letter writing, a gratitude virtual visit, a gratitude-informed version of cognitive therapy, and a gratitude group program.
