Presenting robust new evidence to support the efficacy of MBSR as a holistic therapeutic approach, the author draws interesting and original conclusions about its positive impact on older people's psychological and spiritual wellbeing, physical health, neuropsychological performance, attitudes towards death and dying and overall quality of life. The lived experiences of older adults taking part in an MBSR programme provide rich first-hand insights into the therapeutic process, and the author draws valuable conclusions about ethical considerations and the responsibilities and personal transformation of the MBSR facilitator. Professionals involved in delivering mindfulness-based interventions to older adults, including psychologists, counsellors, spiritual directors and physicians, will find this to be essential reading. It will also be of interest to students, academics and researchers wishing to keep abreast of the latest research and developments in the MBSR field.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 154mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 448gAuthor: Carla MartinsGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
