Wisdom Beyond East and West: Mindfulness and the Future of Psychotherapy with Jon Kabat Zinn, Ph.D. and Daniel Siegel, MD – Daniel J. Siegel & Jon Kabat-Zinn
Once dismissed as esoteric, arcane, and a bit beyond the lunatic fringe, meditation and the practice of mindfulness are now highly respected and integrated into many fields, including our own.
But when a new emergence achieves outsized approbation and applause, it can become a sacred cow of sorts, immune to fresh observation, criticism, or even real understanding of its essence and potential relevance. This dialogue will raise a range of provocative questions about the role of mindfulness in therapy today, including:
- What are the strengths and limitations of both psychotherapy and mindfulness as methods of behavior change?
- What are the common misconceptions and possible misuses of mindfulness that are the product of its widespread application?
- What’s the future of the mindfulness movement, both in psychotherapy and beyond?
- What are the most salient research questions about mindfulness that remain to be answered, or even asked?
- Describe the strengths and limitations of both psychotherapy and mindfulness as methods of behavior change
- Identify common misconceptions and possible misuses of mindfulness
- Summarize the most salient research questions about mindfulness that remain to be answered
- Limitations to Mindfulness
- MBSR
- Self and the Body
- The Interpersonal Neurobiology Triangle
- Awareness vs. Attention
What is Metaphysics ?
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that studies the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, causality, necessity and possibility. It includes questions about the nature of consciousness and the relationship between mind and matter. The word “metaphysics” comes from two Greek words that, together, literally mean “after or behind or among [the study of] the natural”. It has been suggested that the term might have been coined by a first century CE editor who assembled various small selections of Aristotle’s works into the treatise we now know by the name Metaphysics (μετὰ τὰ φυσικά, meta ta physika, lit. ‘after the Physics ’, another of Aristotle’s works).
Metaphysics studies questions related to what it is for something to exist and what types of existence there are. Metaphysics seeks to answer, in an abstract and fully general manner, the questions:
- What is there?
- What is it like?
Topics of metaphysical investigation include existence, objects and their properties, space and time, cause and effect, and possibility. Metaphysics is considered one of the four main branches of philosophy, along with epistemology, logic, and ethics.
