Workshop 1 (Full Day – English)
Nurturing Hope and Resilience in Mental and Physical Health Interventions.
Date: Sunday 13 July 2025
Time: 09:00 AM – 04:00 PM (UTC+07:00)
Location: Faculty of Psychology, Chulalongkorn University
Bangkok, Thailand.
Workshop Instructor:
Prof. David B. Feldman, PhD
Clinical Health Psychologist and Professor of Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University.
Workshop Description:
Hope is an active ingredient in healing across healthcare professions, including psychology, nursing, and medicine. Patients often seek care after trying many solutions—consulting professionals, taking medications, making life changes—only to feel discouraged by setbacks. When hope fades, progress stops. Research shows that hope enhances resilience, reduces anxiety and depression, improves productivity, and even predicts longer life. Yet, many healthcare professionals receive little training in hope. In this workshop, Professor Feldman will define hope in a practical framework, explore its impact in patient care, and guide participants in applying evidence-based strategies to nurture hope in those they serve.
(The training will be conducted in English, with key concepts periodically summarized in Thai.)

Workshop Description:
In this workshop, we will explore the efficacy of longitudinal methodologies in psychological research. We will discuss the unique advantages of longitudinal approaches in tracking changes in human behavior and mental processes over time. The workshop will show how combining theoretical frameworks with practical applications can reveal dynamic relationships and temporal changes that cross-sectional studies often miss. The session will cover key concepts such as participant retention, data collection techniques, and analytical strategies tailored for longitudinal research. Additionally, I will share my experience conducting over eight high-quality longitudinal studies in the past decade, showcasing the impact of these studies on advancing our understanding of psychological changes. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to implement longitudinal methods in their research.
