Wisdom Mind: Mindfulness for Cognitively Healthy Older Adults and Those With Subjective Cognitive Decline, Participant Workbook: Treatments That Work

Autor Colette M. Smart
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 2021
Wisdom Mind is a scientifically tested mindfulness program for older adults - those who are cognitively healthy, as well as those who may be experiencing what is referred to as subjective cognitive decline. While mindfulness is already known to benefit a wide variety of individuals, the unique strengths of this program are the ways in which it is tailored specifically to older adults. Session content is keyed to common concerns of older adults (such as cognitive slip-ups, loss, and grief), and incorporates strategies for building upon mindfulness practices in a sequence of increasing difficulty as well as strategies to promote learning and integration. Designed to be used alongside the companion Facilitator Guide, this session-by-session Participant Workbook provides detailed information on how to take part in the program, as well as the reasoning behind why certain practices and strategies are provided at different times and in different ways. As such, it will be of interest to those familiar with mindfulness as well as those new to the practice. A companion website provides downloadable meditation audio recordings that participants can access throughout the program.

Recenzii

A warmhearted and accessible resource for skillfully meeting the cognitive changes associated with aging. With the practice of mindfulness at its core, Wisdom Mind reminds us that along with whatever contractions in mental abilities we may notice, there is also scope for expansion and vibrant cognitive engagement. This book is the perfect guide for learning how to balance the two.
Wisdom Mind is a wonderful tool for clinicians and patients alike! It is based in evidence and specifically designed to support those facing or fearful of cognitive decline. The step-by-step suggestions and practices in the program offer ways to support cognitive wellness as well as cultivate the attitudes of mindfulness that can help all of us face ageing. Thank you Dr. Smart for providing us with a wonderful resource which serves both as intervention and prevention!
Many of us experience subtle decline in cognitive functioning in the second half of life. While in most this is a sign of normal aging, in some it may progress onward to dementia. However, we know today that we actively support our brain health by mindfulness training. Dr. Smart's manual is an excellent example of how this knowledge from science can serve individual people in maintaining brain function and improving quality of life.
