In the past 20 years meditation has grown enormously in popularity
across the world, practised both by the general public, as well as
by an increasing number of psychologists within their daily
clinical practice. Meditation is now used to treat a range of
disorders, including, depression, anxiety, eating disorders,
chronic pain, and addiction. In the past twenty years we have also
learned much more about the underlying neural bases for meditation,
and why it works. The Psychology of Meditation: Research and
Practice explores the practice of meditation and mindfulness and
presents accounts of the cognitive and emotional processes elicited
during meditation practice. Written by researchers and
practitioners with considerable experience in meditation practice
and from different religious or philosophical perspectives, he book
examines the evidence for the effects of meditation on emotional
and physical well-being in therapeutic contexts and in applied
settings. The areas covered include addictions, pain management,
psychotherapy, physical health, neuroscience, and the application
of meditation in school and workplace settings. Uniquely, the
contributors also present accounts of their own personal experience
of meditation practice including their history of practice,
phenomenology, and the impact it has had on their lives. Drawing on
evidence from both research and practice, this is a valuable
synthesis of the ways in which meditation can profoundly enrich
human experience.
