  • 소개/요약Mindfulness is among the hottest topics in both clinical and basic psychological science. Bringing together leading scholars, this authoritative handbook offers a comprehensive review of current knowledge about mindfulness and a guide to its ongoing evolution. The volume addresses such compelling questions as how this quality of consciousness can be conceptualized and measured, what role it plays in a variety of functional domains, and which normative and clinical populations appear to benefit from mindfulness training. Part I explores the nature of mindfulness, placing Western psychological science into active dialogue with scholarship in long-standing contemplative traditions. Chapters probe how Buddhist conceptions of mindfulness have been adapted by psychologists and what conceptual and methodological challenges have arisen along the way. Part II examines mindfulness in the context of contemporary psychological theories of attention, perceptual processing, motivation, and behavior. In Part III, the focus turns to basic research. Compelling findings are presented on the expressions and consequences of mindfulness training for neural structure and functioning, emotion, interpersonal behavior, and the self Parts IV and V delve into the rapidly growing area of applications for healthy and clinical populations. Reviewing the empirical evidence base, the book considers how mindfulness interventions can improve well-being and promote the treatment of behavioral and emotion dysregulation disorders, depression, anxiety, and addictions, as well as physical health conditions. Showcasing cutting-edge theories, research methods, and clinical approaches, the Handbook will be read with interest by both researchers and practitioners, including clinical, social, cognitive, and health psychologists; psychiatrists; clinical social workers; counselors; and nurses. It will also enhance the reading lists of courses dealing with mindfulness, contemplative science and practice, or Buddhist psychology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
