Abstract

<p>We introduced mindfulness practice to our outpatient psychosomatic medicine clinic specializing in anxiety and depression. In addition to open-ended single-session classes, we offer various courses including Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy. Interventional research has shown that regular mindfulness practice increases dispositional mindfulness and reduces anxiety and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, patients report that mindfulness practice promoted non-reactive attitudes, focused attention, and a calm state of mind. In the discussion, we address various considerations for practicing mindfulness in the clinical setting and future developments in research and clinical practice.</p>
