Grounded in affective neuroscience, the Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) is an innovative, multimodal mindfulness-based therapy. MORE intervention unites complementary aspects of mindfulness training, third-wave CBT, and principles from positive
psychology into an evidence-based treatment for chronic pain, addictive behavior, emotion dysregulation, and psychosomatic conditions.
The workshop will be given by Prof. Dr. Eric Garland, founder of the MORE Intervention. Prof. Dr. Garland is distinguished professor and associate dean for research in the University of Utah and director of the Center on Mindfulness and Integrative Health Intervention Development. Prof. Garland led large clinical trials that showed the efficacy of MORE in reducing pain symptoms and opioid dependence, and has published more than 250 scientific articles. In a recent bibliometric analysis, Dr Garland was found to be the most prolific author of mindfulness research in the world. In addition to his clinical research experience, Professor Garland is a licensed psychotherapist and was elected a Distinguished Fellow of the National Academies of Practice in the USA in 2015.
