“…Our results are consistent with the results of previous studies of mindfulness-based interventions for a range of clinical populations generally (Bohlmeijer et al, 2010;Chiesa & Serretti, 2011;Grossman et al, 2004;Inga, 2011;Klainin-Yobas et al, 2012;Ledesma et al, 2010;McCarney et al, 2012;Piet et al, 2011Piet et al, , 2012Vøllestad et al, 2012) and CHD patients specifically (Griffiths et al, 2009;Sullivan et al, 2009;Tacon et al, 2003). However, ours is the first published study of MBCT for CHD patients in which DSM IV major depression was an inclusion criterion.…”

“…In a meta-analysis of 6 randomized controlled trials, Piet and Hougaard (2011) found that MBCT significantly reduced the risk of relapse among people with recurring major depression. Results of meta-analyses of MBCT and other mindfulness-based therapies show that these interventions lead to significant improvements in depression, anxiety and other indices of psychosocial adjustment for people with a wide range of physical (Bohlmeijer et al, 2010;Grossman et al, 2004) and mental health (Chiesa & Serretti, 2011;Klainin-Yobas et al, 2012) difficulties, including cancer (Ledesma et al, 2010;Piet et al, 2012), chronic pain (Inga, 2011), anxiety and depressive symptoms (McCarney et al, 2012;Piet et al, 2012), recurrent depression (Piet et al, 2011), anxiety disorders (Vøllestad et al, 2012), and life stress (Chiesa & Serretti, 2009).…”

“…A recent review of 19 studies using a mindfulnessbased treatment approach for various anxiety disorders found large effect sizes for improvements on both anxiety and depression, and a moderate effect on quality of life [41]. Participants of mindfulnessbased treatments have also been very receptive to the use of these techniques for treating their anxiety [42][43][44] and have continued to practice mindfulness techniques at a three-year follow-up [45].…”

Asthma is a disease that affects the overall health and quality of life of millions of children and adults in the U.S. In addition to the physical symptoms and the limitations, many people with asthma also experience anxiety. Psychological interventions used in conjunction with standard treatment have successfully reduced anxiety, as well as improved lung functioning among people with asthma. Mindfulness techniques have been shown to reduce anxiety among children, adolescents and adults. This study sought to determine if mindfulness meditation might reduce anxiety and also improve lung functioning. It was found that lung functioning was moderately improved, especially on the day of the sessions, pre and post treatment. Anxiety was also substantially improved during the pre and post in-session treatment.

“…applications of mindfulness, and this approach has been widely proven to be effective in treating such disorders in general in several meta-analyses (Hofmann et al, 2010;Chen et al 2012;Vøllestad et al 2012), as well as in helping with a number of individual anxiety disorders, such as general anxiety disorder (Roemer et al, 2008) or social phobia (Piet et al 2010). (4) Depressive disorders are another key domain for applications of mindfulness, where the major effect consists of relapse prevention, and on which basis an important approach to mindfulness, called Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) has been established (Segal, Williams and Teasdale 2002).…”

Applications of Mindfulness in Psychotherapy – Contemporary Dilemmas

Mindfulness has without doubt been the fastest spreading and most popular concept in psychotherapy in the last two decades. Its influence exceeds that of any other individual concept or approach in modern psychotherapy. However, there are many dilemmas, open questions and controversies related to this rapid, almost fanatic spread, which obviously compensates for a certain lack in modern Euro-and Americo-centric societies. Similarly, we are witnessing in the West a lack of reflection, a process of limitless idealization, and the search for a panacea. This all flows with a tint of colonialism, presumptuously taking over ideas, concepts and techniques without a proper study of the primary sources, and with all the accompanying negative side-effects: profiteering, self-promotion, unethical conduct, empty promises of instant rewards, and so on. In the present paper, the development of interest in mindfulness in psychotherapy, as well as the research findings and dilemmas, and concepts and mechanisms of applying mindfulness in psychotherapy, will be reviewed. The main purpose of the paper is to contribute to the critical reflection in studying and applying mindfulness in psychotherapy. Keywords: mindfulness, meditation, psychotherapy, psychotherapy research IzvlečekČuječnost je v zadnjih dveh desetletjih zagotovo koncept, ki se najhitreje širi in je najbolj odmeven v psihoterapiji. Je vplivnejši od kateregakoli drugega posameznega koncepta ali pristopa v sodobni psihoterapiji. Vendar so ob tem hitrem, skoraj fanatičnem širjenju, ki očitno nadomešča določena pomanjkanja v sodobnih evropskih ali ameriških družbah, prisotne številne dileme, odprta vprašanja in razhajanja. Prav tako smo na Zahodu priča pomanjkanju refleksije, procesu brezmejne idealizacije in iskanju panaceje. Vse to poteka z določeno stopnjo kolonialistične naravnanosti, ki samozaverovano jemlje ideje, koncepte in tehnike, brez poglobljenega študija primarnih virov in z vsemi negativnimi stranskimi učinki, kot so dobičkarstvo, samo-promocija, neetično ravnanje, prazne obljube o takojšnjem uspehu ipd. V pričujočem besedilu so predstavljeni razvoj zanimanja za čuječnost v psihoterapiji, izsledki raziskav in dileme v raziskovanju ter koncepti in mehanizmi * Borut ŠKODLAR, Associate Professor, University Psychiatric Clinic Ljubljana.
