The Louisiana Group Psychotherapy Society will hold its Fall Institute on
November 1, at the Behavioral Wellness Center on North Boulevard, in Baton Rouge.
The Institute will feature Dr. John Pickering, who will present on Mindfulness.
Dr. John Pickering, clinical psychologist from Baton Rouge, and practitioner of Zen Buddhism and meditation for over 40 years, co-founded a small Zen meditation and study group with Dr. Gary Pettigrew that has now met weekly for nearly 20 years. He also helped create the Friday night (English speaking) meditation group at the Tam Bao Buddhist Temple. Dr. Pickering is in private practice in clinical psychology at Dawson Psychological Associates where he has “always incorporated what is now termed a mindfulness-informed therapeutic approach,” he explained to the Times in a previous interview.
