Abstract

This thesis aims to examine the concepts of mindfulness and psychological flexibility in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), how they present, and how these may contribute to the alleviation of physical and / or mental distress caused by the condition. The thesis consists of two major sections: a systematic review and an empirical study. This introductory chapter presents a brief description of each section, how the sections are linked, and an overview of the thesis as a whole.
