"How does mindfulness promote psychological well-being? What are its core mechanisms? What value do contemplative practices add to approaches that are already effective? From leading meditation teacher Christina Feldman and distinguished psychologist Willem Kuyken, this book provides a uniquely integrative perspective on mindfulness and its applications. The authors explore mindfulness from its roots in Buddhist psychology to its role in contemporary psychological science. In-depth case examples illustrate how and why mindfulness training can help people move from distress and suffering to resilience and flourishing. Readers are guided to consider mindfulness not only conceptually, but also experientially, through their own journey of mindfulness practice.<BR />"--. - "Subject Areas/Keywords: mindfulness meditation, insight meditation, mindfullness, teachers, contemplative practices, training programs, manuals, self-compassionate, lovingkindness, self-acceptance, Buddhist psychology, dharma, Buddhism, cognitive-behavioral therapy, self-soothe, self-soothing, exercises, practices, body scan, clients, patients, psychotherapy, emotional healing, personal development, personal growth, psychoeducation, gratitude journals, gratitude journaling, gratitude practices, interventions, trauma, chronic pain, depression, addictions, Jon Kabat-Zinn, practicing mindfulness, mindfulness and psychological science, mindfulness in clinical psychology, incorporating mindfulness into therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, mindfulness courses, mindfulness classes, anxiety disorders DESCRIPTION How does mindfulness promote psychological well-being?
