- 소개/요약In recent years, mindfulness has become integrated into many treatment programs for stress reduction, pain relief, anxiety management, and other health and wellness areas. Why has mindfulness, a treatment tool that might easily have been dismissed as esoteric only a few short years ago, become so widely accepted and applied? One obvious answer: Because it works. But how? In this work, noted psychologist Michael Yapko draws attention to the hypnosis embedded within mindful approaches. Here he challenges the conventional wisdom that mindfulness for spiritual pursuits can be applied in clinical contexts without varying its stated methods and goals. Therapy requires attention with intention. He insightfully describes the vital and inevitable role of suggestion and a goal orientation in these processes despite therapists' typical insistence they are not being either suggestive or intentional. Clinicians are routinely encouraging their clients to focus, be aware, open and accepting, and thereby derive benefit from mindful experience. As these practices have become more popular with therapists and clients, many important but previously unanswered questions have arisen, including: When is a guided mindfulness approach indicated and contraindicated? How and why do people vary in their capacities to focus? How can one's approach be better customized to fit with individual client needs? How does repeated practice of such techniques benefit the client? And how does the suggestion that the method will have therapeutic impact affect the client's results? These and many, many more salient questions are addressed in this book. Reviewing the current literature and foundational elements of hypnosis and mindfulness, Yapko explores the semantics and structure of these experiential processes and especially focuses on the actual experience of the person, thereby going beyond the labels or philosophy typically used to represent them. As a clinician and expert in clinical hypnosis, he is sensitive to how the presence of a guide influences what happens in the course of a guided mindfulness meditation. In this trailblazing book, Yapko brings the science and art of hypnosis to the spirit of mindfulness. Readers will be delighted to discover that the hypnotic language of mindfulness can be better integrated into their daily practices. Drawing from real-life case examples, Yapko investigates the role of focused attention in empowering clients to transform their sensory awareness and physiological and emotional states, as well as their reactions to their life experiences. He lays out guidelines for bringing hypnotic suggestions into therapy, and explains how guided mindfulness meditation and hypnosis provide a structured means for extending key insights and skills across different contexts, ranging from relationships to breathing to emotional self-regulation. We learn which personal and interpersonal factors influence a client's response to guided mindfulness meditation and hypnosis and why responses vary so widely across individuals. These insights allow for a more tailored and effective use of experiential processes. In this book, clinicians have an invaluable guide to expanding their range of helping skills by applying guided mindfulness meditation and clinical hypnosis to their work with clients and, in doing so, catalyze potentially life-changing therapeutic experiences.
