Abstract

A growing body of evidence is emerging for the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions adapted for psychosis. This chapter describes the theoretical model underlying the use of mindfulness in clinical practice, and mechanisms by which negative symptoms in psychosis may be targeted. Practical recommendations for safe and effective delivery of mindfulness-based interventions will be set out, addressing historical concerns about the use of meditation practices in psychosis. Evidence for the effectiveness of mindfulness for psychosis on negative symptoms are summarized from the existing clinical trial literature. Future directions for research are set out that would further elucidate the key mechanisms underlying the effect of mindfulness on negative symptoms.
