    Mindfulness has swept through the mental health community and public consciousness by offering everything from stress reduction to improved organizational effectiveness. As practitioners, it is hard to know how to respond to this popularity and make informed decisions about whether to incorporate mindfulness in our clinical work. This workshop will focus on the reciprocal relationship between ethics and mindfulness. In particular, the following questions will be addressed:

    1. What is Mindfulness (and what isn't it)?
    2. Does Mindfulness impact Ethics?
    3. Is Mindfulness ethical?
    4. Are there ethical guidelines for the inclusion of mindfulness in clinical practice?
    5. What makes a competent, mindful practitioner?
    6. How do ethical guidelines help determine the contradications for practicing mindfulness with clients?

    At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

    1. Understand the ethical implications of mindfulness.
    2. Understand the role of mindfulness in developing good ethical habits
    3. Understand the ethical and clinical implications of incorporating mindfulness in practice.
