Summary/Abstract: The concept of mindfulness, defined by Kabat-Zinn, refers to a mechanism where the experiences are always at the center of attention. This concept, which dates back almost 2500 years, attracted the attention of several researchers in recent years. It was suggested that mindfulness could contribute to the treatment of psychopathologies and various intervention methods were developed. On the other hand, there are also studies on the action mechanisms of these intervention methods in the literature. The present literature review aimed to describe the concept of mindfulness, to investigate the correlations between mindfulness and psychopathologies and transdiagnostic variables, and to provide a general framework on awareness skills and techniques designed to develop these skills.
