“…It seemed to make intuitive sense that mindfulness meditation, a practice that was being used successfully to manage pain and anxiety, would also be valuable in treating insomnia, particularly when combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy (Kabat-Zinn, 1990). Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to treat various psychological and physiologic disorders based on the premise that one' s perceptions and thoughts, and not external events themselves, are at the root of emotional distress (Beck, 1979;Ellis & Dryden, 1997). Although we modeled our program after Kabat-Zinn' s MBSR program, we modified the program to emphasize the primary goal of improved sleep.…”

This chapter presents the process and operational considerations when developing and implementing mindfulness-based programs for both patients and staff in hospital and health-care settings.The meditation timer chimes, signaling the beginning of 15 minutes of silence. The setting is the small conference room of a very busy 42-bed total joint replacement unit. Five nurses, a unit clerk, and the nurse manager close their eyes, rest their hands lightly on their thighs, and are encouraged to take a few deep breaths. They have been instructed prior to the beginning of the session to focus on their breathing, which helps to keep them in the present moment. They know that it is normal to have thoughts racing through their minds. They acknowledge the thoughts, accept them, release them without judgment, and then return their focus to their breath. As the session ends with another gentle chime, the participants slowly open their eyes, take another breath, and gradually get up to finish the remainder of their shift. This "Mindful Moment" was a gentle break in their day and allows them to step back into a fast-paced environment with a relaxed mind and a renewed spirit.Hospital and health-care settings are in the business of attending to community health and wellness. Mindfulness programs for patients, the clinical workers who care for them, and for the general organization staff of such facilities are developing all over the country, as part of many such organizations' adult education and wellness efforts (Gelles, 2016). This chapter presents the process and operational considerations when developing and implementing mindfulness-based programs in hospitals or health-care settings based on our experience. "Mindful Moments" depicted in the scenario above was just one of the mindfulness-based programs we implemented throughout the health NEW DIRECTIONS FOR ADULT AND CONTINUING EDUCATION, no. 161, Spring 2019

“…Although some consider Bandura (1997) to be a cognitive therapist, Bandura's techniques differ from cognitive therapists who use restructuring techniques, a distinctive psychological treatment that includes directing patients to recognize automatic thoughts, modify ideational content, and challenge irrational beliefs (Beck, 1979). A critical element in cognitive therapy is requiring patients to examine and change maladaptive beliefs (Beck;Ellis & Dryden, 1997). To rid oneself of undesirable feelings and behaviors, it is necessary to learn cognitive strategies that facilitate adaptive coping and interpretation of environmental events.…”

PROBLEM. Although researchers suggest treatments that provide patients with an active coping strategy may increase patients’sense of self‐efficacy, previous studies have not measured patients' serf‐efficacy. METHODS. Eighteen women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer were randomized to efficacy‐enhancing experimental (n = 10)and usual‐care control (n = 8) groups. The experimental group received five interventions delivered monthly. Variables—quality of life, symptom distress, and serf‐care self‐eficacy—were measured at baseline and at 4 and 8 months later. FINDINGS. At 4 and 8 months the interaction effects for the Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment‐Breast, used to measure quality of life, ranged from small forfinctional concerns to large for social concerns. Interaction effects for symptom distress, measured by the Symptom Distress Scale, were large. Interaction effects for serf‐care serf‐efficacy ranged from small for Enjoying Life and Stress Reduction, medium for Stress Reduction, and large for Making Decisions. CONCLUSIONS. Interventions to promote selfefficacy may increase quality of life and decrease distress for women diagnosed with breast cancer.

“…First, it seems that cognitive clinical theories have been developed mainly at the computational level. For example, while much is known about the kinds of cognitions/ beliefs that interact with our goals to impact on our responses (for details, see Ellis & Dryden, 1997), less is known about how beliefs are represented (e.g., schema or propositional networks?) and about the exact algorithms by which beliefs impact on our emotions.…”

“…Positive psychology may offer ways to help people make this kind of change (Seligman & Csikszentmihaly, 2000). In conclusion, although CBT/REBT theorists make the distinction between cold and hot cognitions (Ellis & Dryden, 1997), the distinction has not been explored thoroughly. By incorporating a clearer distinction between hot and cold cognitions into their research programs, CBT/REBT researchers could enrich their fund of knowledge.…”

The information‐processing approach to the human mind: Basics and beyond

Cognitive psychology attempts to understand the nature of the human mind by using the information-processing approach. In this article, the fundamentals of the cognitive approach will be presented. It will be argued that the human mind can be described at three levels-computational, algorithmic-representational, and implementational-and that the cognitive approach has both important theoretical and practical/clinical implications. Finally, it will be suggested that the study of cognitive psychology can provide a foundation for other fields of social science, including the field of clinical psychology.
