This book provides an outline and critical discussion of the
characteristics of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) research.
Since the first reports on the use of mindfulness practices in
health interventions, a large body of research literature has
emerged to document the effectiveness of MBIs for reducing
psychological distress and to increase well-being. The integration
of mindfulness into very diverse psychological theories makes it a
unique concept in psychology that has generated a large amount of
interest both in academic research but also the broader media. With
this growing literature, mindfulness researchers have also
recognised the need to be more critical of its developments, such
as how MBIs are presented to the public or what types of research
methods are used to test claims of an MBI's effectiveness. This
book examines the large variety of approaches in which MBIs have
been studied, including an outline of the philosophical
underpinnings of MBI research, definition and measurement of
mindfulness, the use of qualitative and quantitative research
methods, research design, and research that addresses cultural and
religious factors. The book contributes to increased awareness of
the current direction of MBI research and thus seeks to contribute
to further methodological refinement and sophistication of the
research field. This book on the characteristics of research on
MBIs is a must read for any researcher or practitioner interested
in this fascinating topic.
