Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect mechanisms of mindfulness techniques by comprehensively examining them from the three aspects of "body-cognition-behavior," and to gather knowledge for the eventual development of a new mind-body integration type trauma The goal of the study was to collect knowledge for the development of a new trauma recovery support method that combines a body-oriented approach and a cognitive-behavioral approach.
As a result of the research, we were able to identify the components related to mindfulness and their relationship to the components and PTSD symptoms addressed in conventional trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy. Through this series of studies, the effectiveness and potential use of mindfulness techniques, as well as conventional trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, for PTSD was demonstrated.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

現在、トラウマ回復支援法として推奨されているのは、トラウマ記憶を扱うトラウマ焦点化認知行動療法である。一方、これらを代替あるいは補完するマインドフルネスなどのトラウマ非焦点化技法の効果や作用機序に関する検討の必要性が指摘されている。効果的な治療の選択肢の拡張は、治療者と患者の双方にとって望ましく、本研究はその点で貢献したと言える。
