This book proposes a new approach to mindfulness-based
interventions, presenting them not as individual, but as relational
practices. In the last decades, mindfulness has exerted a growing
influence on many fields of research and activity, but always as an
individual practice. The authors in this volume believe that the
strong development of mindfulness today implies considering a
dialogue between this individualistic approach and the perspective
of relational mindfulness based on social constructionism. The
volume is organized in two parts. The first part focuses on the
theoretical foundations of relational mindfulness. The second part
presents possibilities of applications of relational mindfulness in
clinical and organizational settings to promote mental health and
personal development. Relational Mindfulness: Fundamentals and
Applications will be of interest to a wide range of professionals
interested in applying mindfulness-based interventions in mental
health care and productive organizations, such as clinical and
health psychologists, public health professionals and human
resources analysts and consultants, among others. "It is true that
the metaphor of mindfulness has been enormously fruitful in its
invitation to innovate. By removing meditative practices from their
ancient roots, practitioners were free to create practices
especially relevant to context. (...) At the same time, there was
also a recognizable loss in the profoundly rich heritage that was
left behind. For many of us, the greatest loss resulted from the
absorption of such practices into Western individualism. What had
once been an orientation to practice emphasizing our fundamental
inter-being, had become a gateway to silent separation. It is in
this context that the present volume bursts into significance. With
special appreciation to the editors of this book, we are treated to
a multi-dimensional exploration into the relational dimensions of
mindfulness practices. Bringing ideas, experience, and wisdom from
across professions, and across continents the contributors open an
exciting path to the future." - Excerpt from the Foreword by
Kenneth J. Gergen
