Die heilende Kraft der Achtsamkeit

PiD - Psychotherapie im Dialog September 1, 2006 Jon Kabat‐zinn, Saki Santorelli, Petra Meibert et al. 6 citations

Jon Kabat-Zinn developed an eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program in 1979, consisting of eight group sessions and a full-day silent retreat, with core practices including sitting and walking meditation, yoga, and body scan. The program aims to cultivate mindfulness in daily life and mobilize self-healing resources. Participants include people with chronic pain, medical diagnoses, or those feeling stressed and disconnected. The practice fosters acceptance and awareness, helping individuals recognize early signs of conditions like migraines or panic attacks, thereby reducing automatic reactions. Kabat-Zinn and Santorelli emphasize that mindfulness is a lifelong path, not a quick fix, and that it can transform one's relationship with thoughts and emotions, potentially leading to healing and personal growth.

Recommendations address types of integration, suitable diagnoses, therapist qualifications, case formulation, the inquiry process, optimal practice types and duration, managing difficult experiences, and training programs. The authors note that research on this topic is scarce, so the recommendations are tentative and intended to stimulate further discussion.
