- 소개/요약After 15 years on sustained psychological research on meditation, a careful evaluation of the evidence of the effects and effectiveness of meditation techniques is needed. The contents of this book provide just such an evaluation—the contributors being drawn from among those most knowledgeable about meditation research. The book also describes the context of this research by presenting relevant theoretical bases in Eastern and Western psychology. Part I presents an outline of what meditation is and how it has been viewed from the very different perspectives of the spiritual traditions of the East and the positivist orientation of Western psychology. The place and aims of meditation in Buddhist psychology are described along with contemporary Western theoretical approaches to understanding human behavior. Part II reviews research on the phenomenology of meditation, the physiological effects of meditation, and research on personality change associated with meditation practice. Part III offers a new approach to understanding meditation as psychotherapy based on a skills analysis, along with a detailed description of how meditation can be used in clinical settings. Part IV concludes with an overview of the research evidence presented in the book along with comments about the adequacy of the research questions posed.
