Abstract

The incidence of depression is increasing rapidly, and clinicians and psychologists are constantly searching for effective clinical interventions. Although mindfulness originated in eastern Buddhism traditions, previous clinical studies suggested that mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) could be effectively applied in the West, especially for the treatment of depression. We wrote this article with four purposes: (1) to review how Buddhism is connected with depression treatment in clinical application; (2) to explore the impact of mindfulness-based intervention on depression’s cognitive function; (3) to review the current successful cases and difficulties in the clinical application of MBI between the East and the West; (4) to provide suggestion for future clinical research and application based on current difficulties.
