Contemporary CBT focuses on meaning assigned to cognitive phenomena and how we perceive the process of thinking. New developments in CBT incorporate mindfulness. Mindfulness training is based on the premise that people must change their relationship to their thoughts, pay attention to the moment-to-moment experience, and observe and be aware of what’s happening instead of automatically reacting to a situation. This poster session will discuss mindfulness techniques with specific populations.
