  • 소개/요약Mindfulness originated from Asian traditions. In that context, it has some links to Zen Buddhism and also with similar traditions such as Roman Catholicism (Siang-Yang Tan, 2011). However, in the context of Western medical practices, mindfulness is often presented without any religious connotation. In medical circles, mindfulness means “paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally” (Kabat- Zinn, 1994). In the 1970s, Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn started to incorporate the approach into Western medical practices, for instance Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, which was targeted to help clients handle stress, pain, and chronic illness. Mindfulness is now widely integrated into many therapeutic approaches such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
