Abstract
LAFFITE CABRERA, Horus; DIAZ-GARRIDO, Juan Antonio; MARTINEZ-HUIDOBRO, María Francisca and RONCANCIO MEDINA, Tatiana. New adaptations in the application of mindfulness to psychosis spectrum disorders. Pap. Psicol. [online]. 2024, vol.45, n.1, pp.19-25. Epub Jan 29, 2024. ISSN 1886-1415. https://dx.doi.org/10.23923/pap.psicol.3028.
The clinical use of psychosis-adapted mindfulness has been rejected by some mental health professionals due to biases and lack of information. However, current evidence has demonstrated the safety and numerous benefits of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in psychotic spectrum disorders. MBIs are adaptable to diverse clinical contexts and situations, including cognitive impairment, and although it is not their primary objective, they can facilitate the reduction of negative symptomatology in psychosis. MBIs enable individuals with psychosis to approach hallucinatory experiences from an alternative perspective, fostering flexibility, emotional regulation, and acceptance. It is crucial to tailor interventions to the characteristics of the psychosis, as well as to differentiate between the different types of practices, in order to apply them differentially depending on the specific symptoms and characteristics of the individual.
