All you happy Buddhists

[Christopher M]

Hmmm... probably not something quite like that. Although if the last four years are any indication, who knows where my interests will be in a few more.

I've got strong interests in that general field... it seems intensely obscure at times, but it may just be gaining momentum, following the interest shown by groups like this.

Don't wanna talk about it outside email too much though.

Here are a couple of books...

Check these out, and you can do a litsearch of the authors on Psychlit or something for other materials. Steve Hayes is at the University of Nevada, Reno. I don't know about the others. I actually interviewed with Hayes this year and discovered he's not really interested in mindfulness anymore. I can explain the rationale more clearly if you'd like to e-mail me (tichy.1@osu.edu). But, anyway, others are picking up the torch and there's a small but noticeable movement in clinical right now to study mindfulness approaches. I think it goes hand in hand with clinical people finally giving some credence to some of the stuff the positive psychology people have been espousing for a long time.

Anyway, I'd be happy to go into greater length if you e-mail me.

dwid-
interesting approach! I'm going to spend a little more time with the sample pages, then get back to you.

Usually, most of my time is spent breaking the impasses presented... it's like a bulldozer versus erosion.

CM-
Good link. I gave some thought to the idea... I came up with other frameworks, but then I don't have the same kind of background or interest.
