Overview
Key facts:
- In the last years, protocols inspired by contemplative practices such as mindfulness- and compassion-based interventions have shown promising results.
- Mindfulness and compassion–based interventions are used as prevention and/or treatment tools that can be applied in various areas such as education (for children, parents, teachers), clinical interventions (for (mental)health professionals, and targeting (mental)health disorders such as chronic pain, diabetes, depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder and many more), and organizations (providing new leadership styles and preventive tools against burn-outs).
- This A Peaceful Mind - Mindfulness and Compassion-based Interventions from University of Amsterdam provides an introduction to the interdisciplinary perspectives on mindfulness and compassion interventions and their current applications, demonstrating different, but interconnected elements including research on medicine, education, organizations, and developmental, clinical and neuropsychology.
Programme Structure
The course is divided in five topic blocks:
- Theoretical basics to emotion regulation processes, and contemplative practice. This block allows students to become familiar with definitions and theoretical models related to emotion regulation, concepts of mindfulness and compassion, as well as experience the practice themselves.
- Buddhist psychology. This block allows the students to explore Buddhist psychology and the way mind works in comparison to western psychological concepts.
- Neuropsychology of contemplative practice. This block allows students to understand how the contemplative practice influences the brain and its functions.
- Practical basics to the contemplative practice during one silent day, and workshops during the whole summer school.
- Application of contemplative practices. In this block, students will learn about mindfulness- and compassion-based interventions in education, mental and physical health, and within organizations.
