Abstract: The present article defines the concept of mindfulness, argues that it is often used in equivocal ways, and lists a number of misuses of such term. It goes on by illustrating some theoretical and practical commonalities between mindfulness and Gestalt therapy, that is, their relation with the idea of pathology, the meaning of non-judgementality, the importance given to direct experience, their focussing on the present moment.
