- Abstract
Mindfulness (full attention, full consciousness) became a well-known concept in western countries with Kabat-Zinn (University of Massachusetts), when it was put into practice through his Mindfulness Based on Stress-Reduction program (MBSR) in 1978. Since then, researches and applied fields have followed a geometric progression and the MBSR is being applied in more than two hundred and fifty hospitals only in the USA. Once Clinical Social Work was established in the USA, it was immediately put into practice and transferred from clinical to intervention scenarios with individuals, families, groups and communities. Mindfulness has originated plenty of literature under the general topic "Mindfulness and Social Work". This paper highlights: the theorical framework which makes 'mindfulness' up, its different master programs in Anglo-Saxon and European Universities-in the context of third generation therapeutics-, current researches-including Neurosciences because of the scientific evidence of the brain changes which its practice produces-, and, finally, its application to Social Work, following papers/ investigations of Hick and others.
