Mindfulness Psychotherapy The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion: Freeing Yourself from Destructive Thoughts and Emotions Germer CK. New York (NY): Guilford Publications; 2009. 306 p. US$19.95 Reviewer rating: Excellent Over 30 years ago, Jon Kabat Zinn introduced mindfulness meditation practices to a broader Western audience through his mindfulness-based stress reduction program. In recent years, research has supported the effectiveness of a mindfulness program in preventing relapse of major depressive disorder (mindfulness-based cognitive therapy). Other mindfulness programs have been developed for people with substance disorders, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain. Mindfulness is also an integral part of acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy, 2 psychological treatment approaches that are being used for a wide range of diagnoses and that are developing a broad evidence base to support their use. In his book, The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion: Freeing Yourself from Destructive Thoughts and Emotions, Dr Christopher Germer (PhD) presents another approach, also based in Buddhist psychological teachings, that is intended as a complement to mindfulness. Germer has written a book that may be useful both to therapists and patients as an alternative approach to helping with what is at the core of much of our suffering: self-criticism and shame. The book is divided into 3 parts: "Discovering SelfCompassion," "Practicing Loving-Kindness," and "Customizing Self-Compassion." In the first part, we are introduced to the concept of self-compassion as "acceptance of ourselves while we're in pain."1133 Starting with the premise that many of us are not even aware of our suffering, or where it comes from, mindfulness meditation practices are introduced as a technique for developing more awareness of emotions and experiences in the body. Both formal (mindfulness of body, walking meditation) and informal practices are outlined. Rather than including a CD with the book, Germer's website1 has links to mp3 recordings of guided practices that are free to listen to or download. In my experience with personal practice and working with patients, this kind of recording is essential. It is very difficult to translate a written description of a meditation practice into a useful experience of doing the practice. Germer's recordings are well done and will assist readers in making use of his work. The second part of the book builds on the foundation of the mindfulness practices and introduces the core technique of the book: loving-kindness meditation. …

Measurement instruments that have satisfactory psychometric properties are needed to improve mental health research and services, especially in the effort to measure, identify, and monitor the psychological problems experienced by individuals. The purpose of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS). The study involved 1,922 participants from Surabaya aged between 16 and 26. The data were obtained using the convenience sampling method. Testing of the factor structure, reliability, and measurement invariance of the Indonesian DASS was performed using a confirmatory factor, composite reliability, and multi-group analysis. It was found that a bifactor model consisting of specific (depression, anxiety, and stress) and general (psychological distress) factors was the best structure for the DASS. Furthermore, the model also showed satisfactory composite reliability and measurement invariance across genders. The results indicated that the Indonesian version of the DASS was a valid and reliable instrument for measuring and comparing depression, anxiety, stress, and psychological distress between genders in the Indonesian sample.

The people of Suruhan, Jubelan, Sumowono, Semarang has two important traditions, Sambatan and Nyadran which have been done since Kyai Bumi and Nyai Bumi (folktale figures) era. The word Sambatan derives from two words Sambet and Batan meaning helping someone who is doing a particular activity (traditional ceremony) including building a house. Meanwhile, Nyadran is a way of thanking God, Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala, for the blessing given to all people of Suruhan and a way of praying fot the dead. There are two types of Nyadran, one which is held in the house of the dead at night of his/her death, and the other one in the cemetery on the next morning after his/her death.

Millennials were very familiar with the use of smartphones. Excessive use of smartphones could trigger the problem of phubbing behaviour that ignores the interlocutor by focusing more on accessing the applications on his smartphone rather than interacting directly with the individual in front of him. The anxiety of being left behind or unable to receive or update information, called Fear of missing out (FoMO) related to phubbing behaviour. Low self-control was a factor in problematic smartphone use, including phubbing behaviour. This study aimed to see whether there was a relationship between Fear of missing out (FoMO) and self-control in phubbing behaviour in the millennial generation. This research used a quantitative survey with accidental sampling techniques. The number of samples in this study was 400 millennial generations in Indonesia. Data collection techniques are carried out online using Google Forms. The results of data collection were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The result showed that there was a relationship between fear of missing out (FoMO) and self-control with phubbing behavior (R = 0.584, R 2 = 0.341, F = 102.542, p = 0.000, p &lt;0.05). The partial t-test found that the self-control variable affected phubbing behaviour, and the partial t-test found that FoMO also affected phubbing behaviour. Self-control contributed more to phubbing behaviour than FoMO.
