In this article, we describe the clinical applicability of loving-kindness meditation (LKM) to individuals suffering from schizophrenia-spectrum disorders with persistent negative symptoms. LKM may have potential for reducing negative symptoms such as anhedonia, avolition, and asociality while enhancing factors consistent with psychological recovery such as hope and purpose in life. Case studies will illustrate how to conduct this group treatment with clients with negative symptoms, the potential benefits to the client, and difficulties that may arise. Although LKM requires further empirical support, it promises to be an important intervention since there are few treatments for clients afflicted with negative symptoms.
在本文中，我们描述了慈爱冥想（LKM）对患有持续性阴性症状的精神分裂症谱系障碍患者的临床适用性。慈爱冥想可能有潜力减轻诸如快感缺乏、意志缺乏和社交障碍等阴性症状，同时增强与心理康复相关的因素，如生活中的希望和目标。案例研究将说明如何对有阴性症状的患者进行这种团体治疗、对患者的潜在益处以及可能出现的困难。尽管慈爱冥想需要进一步的实证支持，但由于针对有阴性症状的患者的治疗方法很少，它有望成为一种重要的干预措施。
