Description
Mindfulness Interventions for Adult Health Disorders is a valuable resource that addresses the growing need for evidence-based interventions in the field of mindfulness. By exploring the benefits of mindfulness for both mental and non-mental conditions, this book offers a fresh perspective on the challenges faced by traditional treatment methods. Divided into four sections, including an introduction to mindfulness, a focus on mindfulness in adults, international perspectives, and a collection of insightful case studies, this multidisciplinary handbook covers a wide range of topics. Section Two explores the specific use of mindfulness interventions for disorders such as bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and more. With a dedicated section for case studies, it offers practical insights and real-world examples to enhance the understanding and application of mindfulness interventions. By examining mindfulness applications across different life stages and health conditions, this book provides a comprehensive overview for mental health practitioners and researchers alike.

Dr. Patel is a Reader at the University of Westminster. After completing his PhD at King’s College London, he continued his research experience by undertaking his post-doctoral studies in the laboratory of Professor Cunningham in the Department of Biochemistry at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, (Winston-Salem, NC, USA). This extensive project involved investigating mechanisms of hepatic mitochondrial ribosome dysfunction in alcoholic liver disease (ALD) using biophysical and proteomic techniques. These studies have led to new avenues in determining the pathology of ALD. His teaching areas at both post-graduate and undergraduate levels include clinical biochemistry, investigative pathology and laboratory investigation.
