Линда Карлсон, которая упоминается в этом письме-обращении, некоторое время назад искала через MLRN-discussionlist сотрудника для исследований техники внимательности в клинической практике, в том числе и с целью облегчения страданий больных раком с метастазами в костях. Напомню, что примерно с середины 80-х годов на основе этой техники разработана программа Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

MLRN Discussion List, 24.01.07.

Dear Colleague,
As a trusted and valued member of the community of those engaged in mindfulness-based research and practice, we would like to request a few minutes of your time. The individuals named below (and others) have begun an exploration and discussion of the possibility of forming a society for professionals engaged in the development, practice, application and research of mindfulness-based interventions. We have frequently observed (in ourselves and in our colleagues) a strong desire for a professional community that could both support and further our work in a variety of fulfilling and important ways.

As part of this exploration, we have put together a very brief online interest survey that we would respectfully ask you to complete. It will take less than five minutes, but your contribution would be invaluable to us in determining how to proceed with this effort.

Additionally, we ask that if you are aware of others engaged in similar work, that you forward this email and link to them, so that we can get their input as well. It is our intention to present the results of this survey at the upcoming Fifth Annual International Conference on Integrating Mindfulness-Based Approaches and Interventions into Medicine, Health Care and the Larger Society in Worcester MA, and to continue this dialogue in that venue.

If you are willing to assist us in this effort, simply click on the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=143182007298

If you have specific comments or questions about this endeavour please contact Steve Hickman (shickman@ucsd.edu) or Linda Carlson (l.carlson@ucalgary.ca). We thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
