MINDFULNESS-BASED STRESS REDUCTION OBJECTIVES

Although stress is regarded as a causative factor in many chronic illnesses and psychological disorders, it is often not diagnosed and treated. Furthermore, besides palliative measures such as bed-rest and pharmacological interventions, there are very few tools in most clinician's resources to effectively treat or facilitate treatment of stress as a condition. This eight-week program provides effective skills and knowledge to address this deficit in clinical services.

Recite some of the most salient MBSR research.
Describe components of healthful living and high-level wellness.
Identify pathogenic reactions to stress.
List the mechanisms through which stress exacerbates or precipitates illness and medical conditions.
Guide their patients to work more effectively with stress related illnesses and conditions by mobilizing their own inner resources.
