Mindfulness-based therapies (MBTs) have shown promising results in non-psychotic disorders. Unlike most other psychotherapy models, which are claimed to be Western in origin, MBTs are firmly based in Indian philosophy and traditions. This paper summarises the concepts of the observer self () and attention () that underlie the principles and practice of MBT, correcting some erroneous assumptions in the process. It is argued that better understanding of these concepts is beneficial not just for specialist psychotherapists, but for all clinicians interested in the craft of healing.
基于正念的疗法(MBTs)在非精神病性障碍中已显示出有前景的结果。与大多数其他声称起源于西方的心理治疗模式不同,MBTs 牢固地植根于印度哲学和传统。本文总结了作为 MBT 原则和实践基础的观察者自我()和注意力()的概念,在此过程中纠正了一些错误假设。有人认为,更好地理解这些概念不仅对专业心理治疗师有益,而且对所有对治疗技艺感兴趣的临床医生也有益。
