  • 소개/요약KEY POINTS � Meditation and mindfulness techniques derive from traditional contemplative practices, but are applied in modern clinical settings without the original religious and spiritual overtones. � Five types of meditation have been systematically examined in children and adolescents: focused attention, open monitoring, automatic self-transcending (transcendental meditation), mind-body techniques, and body-mind techniques. � Only a few randomized controlled trials have been conducted in children and adolescents, and more rigorous research is needed. � Meditative and movement techniques have been shown to produce benefits for anxiety, depressive, and other negative affects, behavioral and emotional symptoms, and somatic functioning. � Meditation and mindfulness techniques produce neurobiological changes in the brain and physiologic improvements in body function that have been shown to be enduring for patients who continue to practice these techniques. � No significant adverse effects have been identified. � Providers who offer these techniques should be well trained to ensure the best results. � Research outcome measures demonstrate that there is a direct correlation between the amounts of time spent practicing, or participating in formal guided practice, with increased effectiveness of the techniques.
