East Meets West: Mindfulness-Based Interventions in CBT, Cleveland, 5/10/04

One of the hottest topics in contemporary CBT is the incorporation of mindfulness techniques borrowed from Buddhist and Christian meditative traditions into research-based psychotherapy approaches. Prominent examples include Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Relapse Prevention, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and the use of mindfulness techniques in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Proponents argue that mindfulness techniques provide a radically different means of reducing emotional distress and dealing with dysfunctional cognitions. Objectives: Participants will understand contemporary approaches to integrating mindfulness techniques into CBT, will be able to summarize current empirical evidence regarding the use of mindfulness in CBT, and will gain experience with a number of mindfulness-based interventions.
