Abstract
Complementary and alternative therapies are gaining recognition in the treatment of many disease states. The importance of treating psychological and emotional problems associated with bone marrow transplant has been substantiated by research evidence. This feasibility study tested a mindfulness-based therapeutic intervention to treat such problems in this context. Pretests and post-tests were administered to patients (n=24) undergoing bone marrow transplant. Results indicate that the mindfulness-based therapeutic intervention has the potential to be an effective therapy for bone marrow transplant recipients.
