Again, I think what the question you have raised is one that you can apply equally to Buddhism or to therapy.And if I may now look at, I'm more involved in the Buddhist side of things and I can see how the mindfulness practices have become highly regimented in different traditional Buddhist forms, like the way it's taught in Burma, and different teachers in Burma, different teachers in the West and they kind of dispute with each other and so on.It's the same old story.It's trying to somehow nail down a set of strategies and skills that can be in a way developed and then tested.And then you can maybe pass some exam in them and thereby you're given a certain qualification, a certain authority to disseminate these ideas to others.And one can see very easily why one would do that.One of the big concerns I come across again and again with my friends and colleagues in the teaching, the mindfulness teachers, is this whole notion of accreditation.If you don't have some system that can assess and afford qualifications, then you basically have very little protection against someone who does an eight week MBSR course and then sets themselves up as a mindfulness teacher.
