Abstract
Acknowledging and accepting mindfulness into clinical social work compels us to think about the implications for our understanding of human behavior, our social systems, our educational structures, our understanding of health and mental health, and our approach to clinical research. Time and care is needed to examine mindfulness with critical optimism and its implications for practice now, and in the near future.
There can be no health without mental health.
