Springer Practitioner's Guide to Ethics and Mindfulness-Based Interventions (Mindfulness in Behavioral Health)

This book focuses on the role of ethics in the application of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) in clinical practice. The book offers an overview of the role of ethics in the cultivation of mindfulness and explores the way in which ethics have been embedded in the curriculum of MBIs and MBPs. Chapters review current training processes and examines the issues around incorporating ethics into MBIs and MBPs detailed for non-secular audiences, including training clinicians, developing program curriculum, and dealing with specific client populations. Chapters also examine new, second-generation MBIs and MBPs, the result of the call for more advanced mindfulness-based practices . The book addresses the increasing popularity of mindfulness in therapeutic interventions, but stresses that it remains a new treatment methodology and in order to achieve best practice status, mindfulness interventions must offer a clear understanding of their potential and limits. Topics featured in this book include: • Transparency in mindfulness programs. • Teaching ethics and mindfulness to physicians and healthcare professionals.  • The Mindfulness-Based Symptom Management (MBSM) program and its use in treating mental health issues. • The efficacy and ethical considerations of teaching mindfulness in businesses.  • The Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Program.  • The application of mindfulness in the military context.    Practitioner’s Guide to Mindfulness and Ethics is a must-have resource for clinical psychologists and affiliated medical, and mental health professionals, including specialists in complementary and alternative medicine and psychiatry. Social workers considering or already using mindfulness in practice will also find it highly useful. Review “This guide to the use of mindfulness in professional and personal practice touches on the ethics of using mindfulness interventions with patients as well as how mindfulness can reduce healthcare provider burnout and fatigue. … The book provides a foundation for any healthcare provider. It is also a great resource for students and any others who will be working with ill or injured patients.” (Natasha Lukasiewich, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2018) From the Back Cover This book focuses on the role of ethics in the application of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) in clinical practice.
