Philippe Goldin spent 6 years in Asia studying Buddhist philosophy and debate, and serving as an interpreter for various Tibetan Buddhist teachers. After returning to the U.S., he completed a Ph.D. in Psychology at Rutgers University, and now leads the Clinically Applied Affective Neuroscience laboratory in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University. His NIH-funded clinical research focuses on (a) neural mechanisms of emotional reactivity and regulation, (b) effects of mindfulness meditation and cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders on brain systems related to self and emotional processes, and (c) how mindfulness training for families influences cognitive-affective processes.
