THE CLINICAL HANDBOOK OF MINDFULNESS-INTEGRATED COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY

"This long-awaited clinical guide presents a step-by-step application of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy (MiCBT), an evidence-based integration of mindfulness training with core CBT methods. Integrating Buddhist and Western psychologies with cognitive and affective neuroscience, MiCBT deepens the formulation of operant conditioning and applications of desensitisation techniques to address crisis and help prevent relapse across a wide range of mental health disorders. This book provides flexible and detailed weekly instructions for implementing MiCBT with both individuals and groups. It offers free access to a stock of resources, including downloadable audio instructions for a range of mindfulness techniques and their corresponding scripts for self-implementation. It also contains client handouts to facilitate psychoeducation and practice accuracy, and FAQ sections to help therapists assist their clients to overcome obstacles. Skilfully written by experienced clinicians and leading trainers of MiCBT, this book is an indispensable companion for therapists new to or experienced in the practice of mindfulness-based programs"--Provided by publisher.
