POTENCIAL USO DA PSILOCIBINA NO TRATAMENTO DA DEPRESSÃO: UMA REVISÃO / POTENTIAL USE OF PSILOCYBIN IN THE DEPRESSION TREATMENT: A REVIEW

Brazilian Journal of Development January 1, 2021 Vagner Fagnani Linartevichi, Matheus Gonzales Froza, Rafael de Morais Cury et al. 4 citations

Depression, or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), affects about 322 million people and can be debilitating, creating a need for effective treatments. This review examined published articles on the therapeutic potential of psilocybin for depression. Psilocybin showed promise in treating depression and other mental disorders, producing positive and lasting relief of depressive symptoms, as well as significant results for anxiety and addiction treatment. The positive results characterize psilocybin treatment as an innovative therapy that opens new opportunities for patients who do not improve with conventional treatments. More robust research comparing results with standard treatments is needed to further substantiate findings and determine safety and efficacy.

Buddhist influence in the Mindfulness Movement within Western Psychology

Brazilian Journal of Development May 26, 2025 Pei Fuen Ng

A review of four mindfulness-based interventions—MBSR, MBCT, DBT, and ACT—finds they draw inspiration from different forms of Buddhist meditation but are secularized and often combined with other theoretical frameworks. The operational definition of 'mindfulness' in psychological research lacks standardization, and the MBSR definition is criticized for not aligning with the Buddhist term 'sati' or its early soteriological context. The mindfulness movement increasingly distances itself from its Buddhist roots, leaving the field without a solid theoretical foundation. The authors suggest greater benefit could come from Buddhist traditions contributing actively to contemplative psychology by providing simplified access to source texts.
