Pollack, Pedula, and Siegel provide instructions for clinicians to integrate meditations into their practices to support therapy. They offer guidelines to help tailor treatment to each patient based on clinical and neurobiological research findings, and a hands-on guide to selecting, adapting, and incorporating mindfulness practices into psychotherapy. By minimizing references to research and other academic writings, they aim to make the book more accessible, and offer the companion volume, Mindfulness and Psychotherapy, Second Edition (2013) for the full scientific basis of mindfulness practice. There are ten chapters, and an appendix which offers practices and sequences found useful in treating certain disorders and specific clinical populations. Chapters introduce mindfulness; how to become a mindful therapist; transitioning to mindfulness-based treatment; focusing and expanding the mind; introducing compassion; finding equanimity; how to start; integration with what is; and advanced mindfulness. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com) - Guilford PrThis practical guide helps therapists from virtually any specialty or theoretical orientation choose and adapt mindfulness practices most likely to be effective with particular patients, while avoiding those that are contraindicated. The authors provide a wide range of meditations that build the core skills of focused attention, mindfulness, and compassionate acceptance. Vivid clinical examples show how to weave the practices into therapy, tailor them to each patient's needs, and overcome obstacles. Therapists also learn how developing their own mindfulness practice can enhance therapeutic relationships and personal well-being. The Appendix offers recommendations for working with specific clinical problems. Free audio downloads (narrated by the authors) and accompanying patient handouts for selected meditations from the book are available at www.sittingtogether.com.
