Mindfulness and Meditation for Adolescents: Practices and Programs

This book describes mindfulness and meditation practices and programs for adolescents by situating the topic in a bio-psychosocial-cultural approach. Using this framework, the benefits of these practices and programs for adolescentsù with an emphasis on evidence-based practicesùare explored. In addition to programs based on mindfulness, meditation programs using Transcendental Meditation, Herbert BensonÆs Relaxation Response, and the Center for Mind Body MedicineÆs group programs are discussed. The book is targeted toward educators, mental health professionals, researchers, and graduate students interested in the application, development, and study of mindfulness and meditation practices and programs for adolescents.
