  • 소개/요약There currently exist two dominant mindfulness camps. The Western camp involves social psychological approaches to mindfulness, as exemplified by the work of Ellen Langer. Langer’s approach is sometimes referred to as “mindfulness without meditation.” The nature of its practices is highly psychological, and very little to no emphasis is placed on meditation. The Western camp contrasts with more Eastern approaches to mindfulness, which are rooted in Buddhist philosophy and are more contemplative and based on meditation. A dominant branch of the Eastern camp is approaches to mindfulness that incorporate both psychological and meditative elements. These Eastern derived models borrow forms of meditation from the Eastern camp and empirically apply them in Western settings. The Western and Eastern models propose different and unique theoretical principles, but they also share significant similarities. Most important, both approaches aim to cultivate a present-oriented mind, thereby permitting individuals to increase health and well-being. This handbook compares and contrasts Western and Eastern mindfulness camps with the aim of transforming their seemingly oppositional relationship into a complementary one. The chapters included in this handbook have been specifically selected because they adequately represent the ways in which mindfulness has been applied in various fields and settings, including medicine, mental health, education, organizations, and sports. Mindfulness has also proved to have a powerful influence on cognition, attitudes, and interpersonal relationships. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
