- 소개/요약Originally developed as a technique for spiritual contemplation, meditation is now widely used as a wellbeing and therapeutic practice. The 2012 US National Health Statistics reported that 8% of US adults (18 million) have used some type of meditation technique (1). While the major concern of the research literature has been to establish the physical and mental health benefits of meditation practices, there have been reports about its potential for harm stretching back to the 1970s (2, 3). In 1977, the American Psychiatric Association published a position statement on meditation where it strongly recommended that 'research be undertaken in the form of well-controlled studies to evaluate the possible specific usefulness, indication, contraindications, and dangers of meditative techniques'. Yet it has taken almost four decades of research before the literature acknowledged that there might be a bias towards exaggerating the clinical benefits of meditation practice and dismissing its potential adverse effects (4-6).
