In the past 20 years meditation has grown enormously in popularity across the world, practised both by the general public, as well as by an increasing number of psychologists within their daily clinical practice. Meditation is now used to treat a range of disorders, including, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, and addiction. In the past twenty years we have also learned much more about the underlying neural bases for meditation, and why it works. The Psychology of Meditation: Research and Practice explores the practice of meditation and mindfulness and presents accounts of the cognitive and emotional processes elicited during meditation practice. Written by researchers and practitioners with considerable experience in meditation practice and from different religious or philosophical perspectives, he book examines the evidence for the effects of meditation on emotional and physical well-being in therapeutic contexts and in applied settings. The areas covered include addictions, pain management, psychotherapy, physical health, neuroscience, and the application of meditation in school and workplace settings. Uniquely, the contributors also present accounts of their own personal experience of meditation practice including their history of practice, phenomenology, and the impact it has had on their lives. Drawing on evidence from both research and practice, this is a valuable synthesis of the ways in which meditation can profoundly enrich human experience.

Teamwork ist ein fast unverzichtbarer Bestandteil moderner Organisationen geworden. Seit Jahrzehnten ist Teamwork »in« und wird daher in vielen Bereichen der Arbeitswelt, von der Produktion bis zum Topmanagement, eingeführt. Aber funktioniert Teamarbeit in allen Bereichen und liefert es immer die gewünschten Ergebnisse?Der vorliegende Band diskutiert zunächst die Vor- und Nachteile von Teamarbeit und stellt Modelle vor, die Teams und ihre Entwicklung beschreiben. Anschließend werden dem Leser Fragebögen und Leitfäden an die Hand gegeben, mit denen die Stärken und Schwächen der eigenen Organisation bzw. des eigenen Teams auf einfache Art und Weise analysiert werden können. Dabei geht es z.B. darum, ob die Organisation Teamarbeit in genügendem Ausmaß unterstützt, ob das Klima im Team gut ist, oder ob die Teamleitung ihre verschiedenen Funktionen gut ausübt. Auf der Analyse von Teamprozessen aufbauend, werden Methoden vorgestellt, die dem Team dabei helfen, eine eigene Identität zu entwickeln, Visionen zu definieren und daraus konkrete Ziele abzuleiten. Mit vielen praxisnahen Hinweisen werden schließlich Themen wie die Entwicklung des Einzelnen im Team, die Gestaltung von Tagesordnungen und Meetings oder der Umgang mit schwierigen Teammitgliedern behandelt. Eine besondere Rolle im vorliegenden Band spielen die Themen Innovation und Reflexivität sowie Führung in Teams. Fallbeispiele demonstrieren, wie gute Strukturen für Teamarbeit aussehen und wie Probleme bei der Teamarbeit gelöst werden können.Für die 2. Auflage wurden Kapitel zu virtuellen Teams und Diversität vollständig neu geschrieben oder wesentlich erweitert und neue Beispiele und Übungen ergänzt. Zudem wurde die wissenschaftliche Literatur vollständig überarbeitet und aktualisiert.
