How Therapists Use And Choose Mindfulness To Treat Trauma, Jessica M. King
Theses and Dissertations--Family Sciences
This qualitative study used the phenomenological method to examine how therapists use mindfulness therapies and interventions to address trauma-salient issues with their clients. Specifically, it explored therapists’ use of and choices about mindfulness-based treatments when addressing post-traumatic stress symptoms, and trauma-relevant emotion dysregulation and attachment injury. Informants were associate and fully-licensed local therapists, recruited using convenience sampling and snowball sampling by word-of-mouth referrals.

Results, Discussion, Limitations and Suggestions for Future Research are described at the end.
