Abstract

Efforts to integrate mindfulness meditation into existing Western psychoetherpay models are commonplace. While mindfulness techniques may work in concert with other models successfully, the richness of the mindfulness model of encountering the world is often lost. Using Beckerman and Sarracco's case study as an example, this paper explores some of the ways in which a more full integration of the mindfulness model might inform EFT practice.
