secular-scientific mindfulness and Mindfulness-Based Teaching and
Learning (MBTL) for professionals for use in a range of educational

support to practitioners and professionals in the full spectrum of
skills and competencies required of secular-scientific mindfulness
specialists, including an up-to-date competency framework. Presents
a multi-disciplinary approach to secular-scientific mindfulness and
its practices, with implications for teacher preparation and
continuing education for a range of professions. These
multi-disciplinary perspectives provide a fulsome view of
mindfulness as it is unfolding in modern contexts, including the
continuing dialogue with traditional Buddhist and classical Western
philosophical sources; empirical perspectives from psychology and
cognitive science, and practice-oriented scholarship from
education, medicine, and social work.

As the profound contribution of mental illness to disability,
morbidity, and mortality has gained acceptance, mental health has
grown into a global priority. One in five experience mental illness
in their lifetime, and those who suffer are coming forward in
unprecedented numbers. As more people seek care for themselves and
others, providers are increasingly unable to meet the demand
through existing systems and mental health care approaches. In
Managing Uncertainty in Mental Health Care, Drs. Patricia Rockman
and Jose Silveira critically examine core assumptions informing the
primary approaches currently used to assess mental illness in
clinical settings, with an emphasis on clinician certainty. They
illustrate how current diagnostic frameworks obscure clinician
uncertainty while encouraging overconfidence and go on to consider
potential strategies for lessening the impact of inevitable errors.
Ultimately, this book makes a case for acknowledging the
fallibility of clinical judgment, independent of competence and
experience, and the need to modify approaches to mental health care
so that they align with the irreducible uncertainty of the domain.
By exploring emerging transdiagnostic approaches to mental health
care in terms of their alignment with irreducible uncertainty,
Rockman and Silveira make space for error and offer clinicians a
novel way to advance the fundamental aim of mental health care: to
reduce the harm and suffering of all.
