Over the last two decades, Eastern psychology has provided fertile ground for therapists, as a cornerstone, a component, or an adjunct of their work. In particular, research studies are identifying the Buddhist practice of mindfulness—a non-judgmental self-observation that promotes personal awareness—as a basis for effective interventions for a variety of disorders. The Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness is a clearly written, theory-to-practice guide to this powerful therapeutic approach (and related concepts in meditation, acceptance, and compassion) and its potential for treating a range of frequently encountered psychological problems. Key features of the Handbook: • A neurobiological review of how mindfulness works. • Strategies for engaging patients in practicing mindfulness. • Tools and techniques for assessing mindfulness. • Interventions for high-profile conditions, including depression, anxiety, trauma • Special chapters on using mindfulness in oncology and chronic pain. • Interventions specific to children and elders, • Unique applications to inpatient settings. • Issues in professional training. • Appendix of exercises. The Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness includes the contributions of some of the most important authors and researchers in the field of mindfulness-based interventions. It will have wide appeal among clinicians, researchers, and scholars in mental health, and its potential for application makes it an excellent reference for students and trainees.
