Mark Williams
Mark Williams is listed for The Mindful Way through Depression, alongside John Teasdale, Zindel Segal, and Jon Kabat-Zinn. That is the only book confirmed for him in the present record. He should not be merged with Clifton Mark Williams, the New Zealand literary scholar and editor born 12 October who co-edited the Anthology of New Zealand Literature with Jane Stafford; those details do not establish the authorship of the depression title.
References to Irish history and Celtic myths also sit outside the confirmed record for this Mark Williams and should not be used to describe him. Until further books are verified, the biography stays narrow: The Mindful Way through Depression is the named work, its subject is indicated by its title, and its company of names is Teasdale, Segal, and Kabat-Zinn. No award, date of birth, nationality, sales figure, adaptation, or later volume is stated.
