"Responding to growing interest among psychotherapists of all theoretical orientations, this practical book provides a comprehensive introduction to mindfulness and its contemporary clinical applications. Within a coherent conceptual framework, chapters present a range of clear-cut procedures for practicing mindfulness techniques and teaching them to patients. The editors and authors - most of whom have been practicing both mindfulness and psychotherapy for at least two decades - blend clinical wisdom, research findings, attention to the spiritual roots of mindfulness, and personal reflections on the therapist's craft. The resulting volume is an essential resource for anyone interested in meditation and other scientifically grounded approaches to augmenting psychotherapy."--BOOK JACKET
