Mindfulness: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Psychology de Christina Feldman

Mindfulness: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Psychology

Autor Christina Feldman, Willem Kuyken
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 iun 2019

Notăm cu interes modul în care Mindfulness reușește să transforme concepte contemplative abstracte în instrumente clinice riguroase, oferind o bază solidă pentru practicienii care doresc să înțeleagă nu doar „cum”, ci și „de ce” funcționează aceste tehnici. Aplicabilitatea practică a conținutului teoretic este evidentă încă din primele capitole, unde autorii Christina Feldman și Willem Kuyken construiesc o punte între rădăcinile istorice ale practicii și cerințele psihologiei moderne. Cartea este structurată metodic, pornind de la „hărți ale minții” care analizează atenția și percepția, continuând cu modele integrate ale suferinței și culminând cu trasee de transformare și dezvoltarea compasiunii.

Reținem că această lucrare acoperă aceeași arie tematică precum Healing the Heart and Mind with Mindfulness, dar cu o abordare mult mai axată pe sinteza academică și pe rigoarea științifică, fiind destinată în special mediului profesional și universitar. În timp ce alte titluri similare se concentrează pe exerciții punctuale, volumul de față oferă o perspectivă sistemică asupra modului în care etica și integritatea trebuie să fundamenteze orice program de intervenție.

În contextul operei sale, Christina Feldman extinde aici temele bunătății și echilibrului explorate în Boundless Heart, dar le plasează într-un cadru de psihologie aplicată, validat prin studii de caz. Progresia narativă, susținută de un aparat critic bogat și de anexe terminologice, ghidează cititorul de la înțelegerea conceptuală la cea experiențială, subliniind importanța „întrupării” practicii în viața de zi cu zi.

Descriere scurtă

How does mindfulness promote psychological well-being? What are its core mechanisms? What value do contemplative practices add to approaches that are already effective? From leading meditation teacher Christina Feldman and distinguished psychologist Willem Kuyken, this book provides a uniquely integrative perspective on mindfulness and its applications. The authors explore mindfulness from its roots in Buddhist psychology to its role in contemporary psychological science. In-depth case examples illustrate how and why mindfulness training can help people move from distress and suffering to resilience and flourishing. Readers are guided to consider mindfulness not only conceptually, but also experientially, through their own journey of mindfulness practice.

Recenzii

"A tour de force. This book elaborates in exquisite detail--yet with utter accessibility and clarity--what mindfulness is and where it comes from, as well as its profound ethical foundation, clinical applications, growing evidence base, and potential for healing. The depth of the case studies alone exemplifies the elemental wisdom inherent to the practice of mindfulness, and how it can be applied in trying and challenging life situations to beneficial effect."--Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR)

"Given the widespread appeal of mindfulness training, there is a growing need to understand what mindfulness actually is (and is not!), and to see the ancient roots of its modern applications. Bringing together their own deep practice of meditation with sophisticated psychological expertise and the latest neuroscience research, the authors have created a comprehensive map of the mind. This book illuminates the range and transformative power, both secular and spiritual, of mindfulness practice."--Joseph Goldstein, cofounder, Insight Meditation Society, Barre, Massachusetts

"This inspiring book builds bridges between Buddhist psychology and contemporary science. This integration is vital in our world--it has the potential to radically transform perspectives and relieve suffering for individuals and communities. Highly renowned in their respective fields, Feldman and Kuyken are professionally and personally invested in discovering what can emerge from bringing ancient and contemporary disciplines together. This resource will be profoundly useful to so many of us."--Rebecca Crane, PhD, Director, Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice, Bangor University, United Kingdom

"This book provides a much-needed view of the lay of the land for mindfulness in the 21st century. Drawing on their many years of experience in practicing, investigating, and teaching within the Buddhist insight meditation tradition, on the one hand, and contemporary psychological science, on the other, Feldman and Kuyken offer a remarkably elegant and profound demonstration of what they name as the 'mutuality of learning and dialogue' between the two worlds. Their book shows clearly how and why such mutuality has transformative potential, and the conditions under which it may or may not flourish. This book is a 'must read' for students and teachers of mindfulness-based approaches."--Mark Williams, DPhil, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Oxford, United Kingdom

"You are holding in your hands a profound work that brings much-needed clarity to the synergies and tension between Buddhist psychology and psychological science. The book offers an integrated map of how distress is created and perpetuated, and how mindfulness training can transform suffering into well-being and flourishing. Highly recommended."--S. Helen Ma, PhD, Founding Teacher, Hong Kong Center for Mindfulness
