Hello All,
Excellent topic. The emphasis on "Therapist" Mindfulness has received little attention in the past. I wanted to suggest you take a look at my 1997 JPI article where I introduced the idea of therapist mindfulness as the ..."clinical moments, a mindful hovering over therapeutic options" and psychological "freedom" to select among them in real time (pp. 309). In terms of therapist training, I suggested that integrative trainees be taught to practice monitoring the orientation they are employing in real time, similar to the self-monitoring of counter-transference within the psychodynamic traditions.
