“…Most patients were diagnosed with schizophrenia (58.8%-38.2%); other patients were mainly diagnosed of schizoaffective disorders (9.5% -66.6%), depressive disorder with psychotic feature (20.4% -41.1%) and delusional disorder (4.7%). Four studies recruited patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders according to DSM-IV but without reporting on the patient diagnoses [19][20][21][22] .…”

“…Although there were no differences between groups, improvements were observed in clinical functioning (conceptualised as subjective well-being, problems and symptoms, life functioning, and risk) and mindfulness of distressing thoughts and images. Langer et al (2012) found that no significant effects were observed in any measure between the groups, except in mindfulness response to stressful thoughts and images within the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy group (eight individual sessions). Chien and Lee (2013) found that Mindfulness-based Psychoeducation (MBP-12 group sessions) was associated with significant change in symptom sever-ity, illness insight, and length of re-hospitalisation at post-intervention, while functioning and number of re-hospitalisations improved significantly only at the 18-month follow-up.…”

Objective: This study aimed to develop and apply a brief (five-session) group-based intervention called Compassionate, Mindful and Accept-ing approach to Psychosis (CMAP) for patients diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Methods: The intervention was based on three major approaches: the mindfulness framework adapted for psychosis with the proposed modifications for meditation work, the rationales from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and What is already known on this topic1 Contextual therapies aim at developing a more flexible response and more useful self-others and self-self relationships rather than eliminating symptoms.2 Acceptance, mindfulness, and compassion-based therapies for psychosis have shown promising results in several outcomes.3 To our knowledge, only one integrated treatment combining CAM exists and found promising results regarding acceptability, self-regulation, and affective symptoms. What this topic adds1 This study aimed at developing a brief and easy to implement intervention based on acceptance, mindfulness, and compassion for schizophrenia.2 Understanding of acceptability in sample of five patients: intervention seemed acceptable with subjective improvement of difficulties and coping.3 Potential benefits of this approach are illustrated through the results of two case studies: improvement in paranoid conviction and acting with awareness.Contextual cognitive behavioural therapy (CCBT; Hayes, Villatte, Levin, & Hildebrandt, 2011) emerged as a response to criticisms of the cognitive behaviour therapy model, where the function, not content per se, of internal events (including thoughts and images) were regarded as key to

“…(7) Psychotic disorders have also been treated with mindfulness techniques, even if some clinicians have expressed reservations about using such methods with this group of patients (Shonin et al 2014). The results of these studies, however, are encouraging (Khoury et al 2013), especially in group settings (Chadwick et al 2005;Gumley et al, 2010;Braehler et al 2012, Langer et al 2012. (8) Finally, an increasingly important field of research is sexual disorders and their treatment through mindfulness (Brotto et al 2008;Silverstein et al 2011).…”

Applications of Mindfulness in Psychotherapy – Contemporary Dilemmas

Mindfulness has without doubt been the fastest spreading and most popular concept in psychotherapy in the last two decades. Its influence exceeds that of any other individual concept or approach in modern psychotherapy. However, there are many dilemmas, open questions and controversies related to this rapid, almost fanatic spread, which obviously compensates for a certain lack in modern Euro-and Americo-centric societies. Similarly, we are witnessing in the West a lack of reflection, a process of limitless idealization, and the search for a panacea. This all flows with a tint of colonialism, presumptuously taking over ideas, concepts and techniques without a proper study of the primary sources, and with all the accompanying negative side-effects: profiteering, self-promotion, unethical conduct, empty promises of instant rewards, and so on. In the present paper, the development of interest in mindfulness in psychotherapy, as well as the research findings and dilemmas, and concepts and mechanisms of applying mindfulness in psychotherapy, will be reviewed. The main purpose of the paper is to contribute to the critical reflection in studying and applying mindfulness in psychotherapy. Keywords: mindfulness, meditation, psychotherapy, psychotherapy research IzvlečekČuječnost je v zadnjih dveh desetletjih zagotovo koncept, ki se najhitreje širi in je najbolj odmeven v psihoterapiji. Je vplivnejši od kateregakoli drugega posameznega koncepta ali pristopa v sodobni psihoterapiji. Vendar so ob tem hitrem, skoraj fanatičnem širjenju, ki očitno nadomešča določena pomanjkanja v sodobnih evropskih ali ameriških družbah, prisotne številne dileme, odprta vprašanja in razhajanja. Prav tako smo na Zahodu priča pomanjkanju refleksije, procesu brezmejne idealizacije in iskanju panaceje. Vse to poteka z določeno stopnjo kolonialistične naravnanosti, ki samozaverovano jemlje ideje, koncepte in tehnike, brez poglobljenega študija primarnih virov in z vsemi negativnimi stranskimi učinki, kot so dobičkarstvo, samo-promocija, neetično ravnanje, prazne obljube o takojšnjem uspehu ipd. V pričujočem besedilu so predstavljeni razvoj zanimanja za čuječnost v psihoterapiji, izsledki raziskav in dileme v raziskovanju ter koncepti in mehanizmi * Borut ŠKODLAR, Associate Professor, University Psychiatric Clinic Ljubljana.
