以前的研究表明，试图抑制使用物质的想法实际上可能导致物质使用的增加。内观，一种正念冥想练习，强调接受，而不是抑制不想要的想法。Bowen及其同事的一项研究检查了内观课程对被监禁人群中物质使用的影响，结果显示，与通常的治疗对照条件相比，内观组的物质使用显著减少[Bowen S.，Witkiewitz K. Dillworth T. M. Chawla N.辛普森T.L.，Ostafin B.D.，等（2006）。正念冥想和物质使用在一个被监禁的人口。成瘾行为心理学（Psychology of Addictive Behaviors）。本研究进一步探讨了思想抑制在参与课程和随后的酒精使用之间的关系的中介作用。与对照组相比，那些参加课程的人报告说，回避思想的情况显著减少。回避的减少部分介导了释放后酒精使用和后果的过程的影响。(c)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Previous studies have demonstrated that attempts to suppress thoughts about using substances may actually lead to increases in substance use. Vipassana, a mindfulness meditation practice, emphasizes acceptance, rather than suppression, of unwanted thoughts. A study by Bowen and colleagues examining the effects of a Vipassana course on substance use in an incarcerated population showed significant reductions in substance use among the Vipassana group as compared to a treatment-usual control condition [Bowen S., Witkiewitz K., Dillworth T.M., Chawla N., Simpson T.L., Ostafin B.D., et al. (2006). Mindfulness Meditation and Substance Use in an Incarcerated Population. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors.]. The current study further examines the mediating effects of thought suppression in the relationship between participation in the course and subsequent alcohol use. Those who participated in the course reported significant decreases in avoidance of thoughts when compared to controls. The decrease in avoidance partially mediated effects of the course on post-release alcohol use and consequences. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
