Compassionate Integrity Training was first developed by Drs. Michael Karlin and Brendan Ozawa-de Silva under the auspices of the Center for Compassion, Integrity and Secular Ethics (CCISE) at Life University. The program was expanded and refined with the help of a working group of scholars and practitioners from Life University and other organizations brought together by CCISE, and has also benefited from consultation with the participants and fellows of the Octagon conference at Life University. The authors would like to thank especially Dr. Guy Riekeman, Dr. Gerry Clum, Dr. Corey Keyes, Dr. Tom Pruzinsky, Dr. Tom Flores and Dr. Lobsang Tenzin Negi. The creation of CIT was greatly aided by the work of Avital Abraham, Program and Research Coordinator at CCISE.
