  • 소개/요약Growing numbers of clinicians want to incorporate mindfulness into psychotherapy, but aren't sure how to begin. This accessible guide—designed for therapists from virtually any specialty, theoretical orientation, or practice setting—is an ideal place to start. Rather than taking a cookbook approach, the expert authors show how to choose, adapt, and implement mindfulness exercises most likely to be effective with particular patients, and how to tell which techniques may be contraindicated. Therapists also get invaluable tips and tools for developing a personal mindfulness practice. Filled with vivid clinical examples, the book provides instructions for teaching meditations that build the core skills of focused attention, open monitoring, and compassionate acceptance. It suggests ways to introduce mindfulness concepts and describes "entry-level" exercises that can be done with virtually any patient, as well as more intensive practices. The authors offer detailed guidance for how to sequence and combine the practices for optimal benefit. Obstacles likely to arise in mindfulness-based treatment are discussed, together with strategies for overcoming them. Throughout, the book emphasizes ways that bringing mindfulness into the consulting room can enhance the therapeutic relationship. The Appendix presents recommendations for working with specific clinical problems, and is followed by extensive resource listings. Free audio downloads (narrated by the authors) and accompanying patient handouts for selected meditations from the book are available at www.sittingtogether.com. A unique hands-on resource for everyday clinical practice, this book belongs on the desks of all mental health practitioners interested in mindfulness, including clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, counselors, and psychiatric nurses.
