Mindfulness

by Katie Witkiewitz, Corey R. Roos, Dana Dharmakaya Colgan

Clear and compact guidance on integrating mindfulness into practiceThis clear and concise book provides practical, evidence-based guidance on the use of mindfulness in its mechanism of action, the disorders for which there is empirical evidence of efficacy, mindfulness practices and techniques, and how to integrate them into clinical practice.Leading experts describe the concepts and roots of mindfulness, and examine the science that has led to this extraordinarily rich and ancient practice becoming a foundation to many contemporary, evidenced-based approaches in psychotherapy. The efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions in conditions as diverse as borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, alcohol and substance use, emotional dysregulation, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, chronic stress, eating disorders, and other medical conditions including type 2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis is also described. The book is invaluable reading for all those curious about the current science around mindfulness and about how and when to incorporate it effectively into clinical practice.

This is a really well put together clinical look at mindfulness practice, overviews of the interventions available for mental health professionals and the research regarding efficacy. It's pretty dense, but I loved this...I particularly enjoyed the practical application for facilitators working in groups or with individuals. Truly some new ideas and excellent reminders.
