In a sample of 269 Thai adults, mindfulness correlated positively with eudaimonic well-being, and this relationship was partly explained by hope and meaning in life. Together, mindfulness, meaning, and hope accounted for 63% of the variance in eudaimonic well-being. The study highlights the role of these psychological resources in a Buddhist-influenced cultural context often absent from mindfulness research.
Psychedelic-assisted groups (PAGs) may help clients who do not respond to traditional talk therapy, but U.S. practitioners often hesitate due to societal perceptions and scope-of-practice concerns. The article provides a historical overview of psychedelic treatments, emphasizing Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) ancestral group practices alongside Westernized methods. It addresses group dynamics including recruitment, screening, selection, and therapeutic processes, with attention to multicultural and social justice aspects and facilitator characteristics. The author contends that if reconnected to its BIPOC roots, PAGs can serve as a culturally responsive intervention for diverse clients.
