In recent years mindfulness has become integrated into many
clinicians' private practices, and become a staple of hospital and
university based treatment programs for stress reduction, pain,
anxiety management, and a host of other difficulties. Clinicians
are now routinely encouraging their clients to focus, be aware,
open, and accepting, and thereby derive benefit from the
mindfulness experience. How has mindfulness, a treatment tool that
might easily have been dismissed as esoteric only a few short years
ago, become so widely accepted and applied? One obvious answer:
Because it works. The empirical foundation documenting the
therapeutic merits of mindfulness is already substantial and is
still growing. This is not a book about documenting the therapeutic
merits of mindfulness, however. Rather, this book is the first of
its kind to address how and most importantly why guided mindfulness
meditations can enhance treatment. The focus in this book is on the
structure of guided mindfulness meditations and, especially, the
role of suggestion in these processes. Specifically, one of the
primary questions addressed in this book is this: When a
psychotherapist conducts guided mindfulness meditations (GMMs) for
some clinical purpose, how does mindfulness work? In posing this
question other questions arise that are every bit as compelling: Do
GMMs contain structural elements that can be identified and
amplified and thereby employed more efficiently? How do we
determine who is most likely to benefit from such methods? Can GMMs
be improved by adapting them to the needs of specific individuals
rather than employing scripted "one size fits all" approaches?
Discussing the role of suggestion in experience and offering the
author's concrete suggestions for integrating this work into
psychotherapy, this book is a practical guide to hypnosis,
focusing, and mindfulness for the clinician.
