  • 소개/요약People suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other consequences of trauma face daunting challenges. Although many clinical treatments target symptoms of PTSD, an optimal treatment strategy would also address the many health problems that co-occur, such as chronic pain, substance misuse, and depression. To address this need, this book offers mindfulness-based interventions. These therapeutic treatments aim to change the patient's relationship to thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and associated behaviors through an attitude of non-judgment, curiosity, openness, acceptance, and kindness. The book shows practitioners how to guide the patient through meditation practices such as breathing meditation, body scan meditation, or mindful movement to address symptoms including rumination, guilt and shame, avoidance, and hypervigilance, as well as comorbid conditions such as depression, chronic pain, and substance misuse. The authors intention in writing this book is to provide a resource designed both to help clinicians understand the landscape of trauma more fully and to provide practical suggestions to help group leaders effectively teach mindfulness to those who have sustained trauma. The book is structured into two parts. Part I provides an overview of the landscape of trauma and focuses on PTSD and other posttrauma sequelae. Part II focuses on practical considerations. It is the authors hope that the material presented in the book will lead to a greater understanding of how mindfulness can help mitigate factors that maintain or worsen conditions commonly experienced by trauma survivors, and that this greater understanding will translate into more effective teaching and improved outcomes for patients.
