PSY 412 Mindfulness and Meditation II

This 2-credit course focuses on the psychological study of mindfulness, including current research and theory. It is a continuation of Mindfulness and Meditation I, in which students gained an understanding of mindfulness/meditation in its original religious context and alternate religious/spiritual contexts, as well as its evolution to more secular practices. In addition to class assignments and readings from the psychological literature, the course has a continued emphasis on students maintaining a mindfulness practice outside of class. Completion of this course and Mindfulness and Meditation I will together constitute a 3-credit course. Spring semester only.
