Society of Clinical Psychology: DISSEMINATION BEFORE EVIDENCE? WHAT ARE THE DRIVING FORCES BEHIND THE DISSEMINATION OF Mindfulness-BASED INTERVENTIONS?
"During the past decades there has been a rapidly growing interest in mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) like MBSR or MBCT. Although a number of clinical trials on MBIs have been conducted, the evidence base for MBIs is promising but still limited. Nevertheless, a rapid dissemination of MBIs has taken place and it can be argued that, in the case of MBIs, dissemination came before evidence. We contend that, in addition to empirical arguments, a complex mixture of historical, social and psychological factors has fueled the acceptance of MBIs in the healthcare systems of Western societies."
