Abstract:

In Part I of this two-part article, the authors described principle concepts of mindfulness, reviewed current research in the usefulness of mindfulness practice for treatment of psychiatric illnesses. The structure and content of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) was also outlined and provided the theoretical basis for this treatment approach. This alternative therapeutic approach offers potential usefulness for the treatment of individuals suffering from mental illness. Part II of this article presents a more detailed explanation of mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches for all phases of psychotherapy and identifies relevant research questions that will provide an empirical base to guide clinical practice. A case study illustrates mindfulness-based therapeutic interventions.
