Dr Bruno A Cayoun
School of Psychology, University of Tasmania
and The Psychology Centre (Hobart, Australia)
Dr Bruno Cayoun is a Clinical Psychologist in private practice at the Psychology Centre (TAS), and a consultant in mindfulness-based research. His prior research involved the dysfunction of attentional systems and the human capacity for attentional and inhibitory control (two essential mechanisms in mindfulness training) in children with ADHD.
During the last 19 years, Bruno has practised Mindfulness meditation and undergone intensive training in Mindfulness centres in various countries (France, Nepal, India, and Australia), including advanced training courses. He has developed a model that integrates mindfulness skills training with the principles of traditional Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy or MiCBT). This integrative approach is currently used worldwide as a crisis intervention and relapse prevention method, demonstrating advantages over traditional cognitive perspectives across a range of chronic psychopathologies including Bipolar Affective Disorder, PTSD, GAD, Panic Disorder, alcohol abuse, and Borderline Personality Disorder.
Bruno is providing continual training in MiCBT to various services and professional associations. He is the author of a skills-training manual for professionals and his training CDs are used worldwide.
