Mindfulness and clinical psychology.
Psychology and psychotherapy September 1, 2011 David Childs 5 citations
Mindfulness can do more than serve as a therapeutic technique; it can establish a state of presence that connects to the practice of phenomenology, linking it to a Western intellectual tradition and providing that tradition with a systematic method. This opens the door for psychological investigation of the non-conceptual basis of everyday experience. Combining this theoretical stance with practical mindfulness training for clinical psychologists has broad implications for clinical practice, including descriptive approaches to clinical problems, qualitative research, and reflective practice.
