Abstract

Evidence suggests mindfulness-based clinical interven-tions are effective. Accepting this, we caution against as-suming that mindfulness can be applied as a generic tech-nique across a range of disorders without formulating how the approach addresses the factors maintaining the disorder in question. Six specific issues are raised: mind-fulness has been found to be unhelpful in some contexts; where mindfulness has been found to be effective, in-structors have derived and shared with clients a clear problem formulation; there may be many dimensions of effectiveness underlying the apparent simplicity of mind-fulness; mindfulness was developed within a particular “view ” of emotional suffering that implies wider changes that go beyond meditation practice alone; professionals need to match the different components of mindfulness with the psychopathology being targeted; nonetheless, mindfulness may affect processes common to different pathologies. Key words: mindfulness, meditation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness training, problem for-mulation. [Clin Psychol Sci Prac 10: 157–160, 2003] Baer (2003; this issue) provides a very helpful and thoughtful overview of the current status of mindfulness training as a clinical intervention. The literature Baer re-views suggests that the apparently simple procedure of teaching people to pay attention “in a particular way ” has benefits across a wide range of disorders. Further, it seems that, in some situations, these benefits can be…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
