Dr. McCorkle's Recent Publications

Dr. McCorkle recently joined our faculty to direct the new research center in religion and psychology at the Danielsen Institute. Personal research interests include compassion and loving kindness practices from all the world's religions; sanctification (sacred outlook, or viewing everyday objects and activities as having sacred dimensions); the intersection of religion and spirituality with psychotherapy; and the development of new research measures in the psychology of religion with sound psychometric properties. He brings to this work four year's research and teaching experience as a research assistant professor at Boston University's Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation. Dr. McCorkle is a practitioner and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism.
