The relationship between the aspects of mindfulness and coping strategies in patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorders and anorexia nervosa

There was no direct link between mindfulness components and the choice of coping strategies in clinical groups. In patients with paranoid schizophrenia and schizotypal disorder, these findings are presumably due to emotional ambivalence, dampening of emotional response; in anorexia nervosa patients, due to a lack of emotional self-regulation skills.
