    Introduction To Mbsr and Mbct
    (2019) Atalay, Zümra
    Mindfulness is generally defined to include focusing one’s attention in a nonjudgmental or accepting way on the experience occurring in the present moment (Kabat-Zinn, 1994; Brown and Ryan, 2003; Linehan, 1993). It is an open and receptive awareness and attention, which may be reflected, in a more regular or sustained consciousness of ongoing events and experiences (Brown & Ryan, 2003). MBSR stands for mindfulness-based stress reduction program. It is an 8-week program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. MBSR uses a combination of mindfulness meditation, body awareness, and yoga to help people become more mindful.It was originally developed for patients in chronic pain, undergoing intensive treatments for cancer, AIDS and other serious illness, but has since expanded and been incorporated into the daily lives of ten of thousands of people whether they are dealing with the serious stress of illness or simply the day to day stress which at times seems like it can be too much to handle. MBCT stands for mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams and John Teasdale, based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program. It is an 8-week program specifically designed to help you deal with persistent unwanted mood states. MBCT has been tested in research and proven effective for depression, as well as anxiety and a wide range of other problems.

    Increasing Mental Health Professionals’ Self-Esteem Through Mindfulness and Happiness
    (2017) Bulgan, Gökçe
    Aim: The mental health field requires practitioners to be psychologically resourceful in orderto carry out their roles and responsibilities. Similarly, individuals’ self-esteem levels influencehow resourceful they view themselves to be. Therefore, increasing mental healthprofessionals’ self-esteem would positively influence their work with their clients. The aim ofthis study was to examine the role of mindfulness and happiness in predicting mental healthprofessionals’ self-esteem. Methods: Data were collected from 146 counselors and 154psychologists, a total of 300 mental health professionals. Two hundred and thirteen of theparticipants were female and 87 were male. Turkish versions of the Mindful AwarenessAttention Scale (Brown & Ryan, 2003; Özyeşil, Arslan, Kesici, & Deniz, 2011), theSubjective Happiness Scale (Doğan & Totan, 2013; Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999), and theTwo Dimensional Self-Esteem: Self-Liking and Self-Competence Scale (Doğan, 2011;Tafarodi & Swan, 2001) were used to collect the data. The study was correlational. Pearsoncorrelation coefficients and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.Results: The results indicated that there were significant positive correlations between mentalhealth professionals’ mindfulness and self-esteem scores (r = .42; p <.01) and their happinessand selfesteem scores (r = .47; p <.01). Results of multiple regression analyses indicated thatmindfulness and happiness accounted for 31.5% of variance in mental health professionals’self-esteem scores. In addition, mindfulness (ß = .33, p <.001) and happiness (ß = .39, p<.001) both uniquely contributed to self-esteem. Discussion: Considering that mindfulnessand happiness had a significant unique contribution to self-esteem, teaching simple yeteffective mindfulness based interventions to mental health professionals and strategies toincrease their happiness levels could be useful in increasing their self-esteem. As mentalhealth professionals feel more satisfied about their esteem needs, they would be moreeffective in their work with their clients.
