Abstract

The concept of mindfulness, defined by Kabat-Zinn, refers to a mechanism where the experiences are always at the center of attention. This concept, which dates back almost 2500 years, attracted the attention of several researchers in recent years. It was suggested that mindfulness could contribute to the treatment of psychopathologies and various intervention methods were developed. On the other hand, there are also studies on the action mechanisms of these intervention methods in the literature. The present literature review aimed to describe the concept of mindfulness, to investigate the correlations between mindfulness and psychopathologies and transdiagnostic variables, and to provide a general framework on awareness skills and techniques designed to develop these skills.

Bilinçli Farkındalık: Güncel Bir Gözden Geçirme

Abstract

Kabat-Zinn (1990) tarafından tanımlanan bilinçli farkındalık kavramı, yaşantıların an be an dikkat odağı içerisinde gerçekleştiği bir mekanizmayı ifade eder. Yaklaşık 2500 yıllık bir kökene sahip olan bu kavram son yıllarda birçok araştırmacının dikkatini çekmeyi başarmıştır. Bilinçli farkındalığın psikopatolojilerin tedavisine katkı sunabileceği öne sürülmüş ve buna bağlı olarak çeşitli müdahale yöntemleri geliştirilmiştir. Diğer bir yandan farkındalığın etki mekanizmasında etkili olduğu belirtilen olası tanılararası değişkenlerde alanyazında yer almıştır. Bu doğrultuda, bu derlemedeki öncelikli hedef bilinçli farkındalık kavramını tanımlamak, psikopatolojiler ve tanılararası değişkenler ile ilişkilerini incelemek ve farkındalık becerileri ve bunları geliştirmek amacıyla düzenlenen teknikler hakkında genel bir çerçeve sunmaktır.
