This bestselling work, now in a new edition, has introduced tens of
thousands of clinicians to mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for
depression (MBCT), an eight-week program with proven effectiveness.
Step by step, the authors explain the "whys" and "how-tos" of
conducting mindfulness practices and cognitive interventions that
have been shown to bolster recovery from depression and prevent
relapse. Clinicians are also guided to practice mindfulness
themselves, an essential prerequisite to teaching others. More than
40 reproducible handouts are included. Book purchasers get access
to a companion Web page featuring downloadable audio recordings of
the guided mindfulness practices (meditations and mindful
movement), plus all of the reproducibles, ready to download and
print in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. A separate Web page for
use by clients features the audio recordings only. New to This
Edition Incorporates a decade's worth of developments in MBCT
clinical practice and training. Chapters on additional treatment
components: the pre-course interview and optional full-day retreat.
Chapters on self-compassion, the inquiry process, and the three-
minute breathing space. Findings from multiple studies of MBCT's
effectiveness and underlying mechanisms. Includes studies of
adaptations for treating psychological and physical health problems
other than depression. Audio files of the guided mindfulness
practices, narrated by Dr. Segal, on two separate Web pages -- one
for professionals, together with the reproducibles, and one just
for clients.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common functional
gastrointestinal disorder, causing pain, discomfort, and
embarrassment to millions. While medically based treatments have
demonstrated only limited effectiveness, recent research strongly
supports the role of psychosocial factors in both symptom
expression and symptom control. This book presents a brief
cognitive-behavioral treatment approach that is suitable for use
with individuals or groups. Delineating a clear medical rationale,
the authors help clinicians both to reduce the stigma associated
with IBS and to overcome client resistance to psychological
treatment. Effective techniques are outlined for helping clients
manage anxiety, anger, and shame; enhance their self-efficacy and
stress management skills; and alleviate gastrointestinal distress.
Session-by-session guidelines are illuminated by such useful
features as sample therapist-client dialogues, lists of important
points to cover, troubleshooting tips, and examples of recommended
handouts and forms. Also covered in depth are treatment issues
specific to women.
If you've ever struggled with depression, take heart. Mindfulness,
a simple yet powerful way of paying attention to your most
difficult emotions and life experiences, can help you break the
cycle of chronic unhappiness once and for all. In The Mindful Way
through Depression, four uniquely qualified experts explain why our
usual attempts to "think" our way out of a bad mood or just "snap
out of it" lead us deeper into the downward spiral. Through
insightful lessons drawn from both Eastern meditative traditions
and cognitive therapy, they demonstrate how to sidestep the mental
habits that lead to despair, including rumination and self-blame,
so you can face life's challenges with greater resilience. Jon
Kabat-Zinn gently and encouragingly narrates the accompanying CD of
guided meditations (also available as free audio downloads for
purchasers), making this a complete package for anyone seeking to
regain a sense of hope and well-being. See also the authors'
Mindful Way Workbook, which provides step-by-step guidance for
building your mindfulness practice in 8 weeks. Plus, mental health
professionals, see also the authors' bestselling therapy guide:

Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) Self-Help
Book of Merit
Cognitive therapy, with its clear-cut measurable techniques, has
been a welcome innovation in recent years. However, the very
specificity that lends itself so well to research and training has
minimized the role of the therapeutic relationship, making it
difficult for therapists to respond flexibly to different clinical
situations. What is needed is an approach that focuses on the
underlying mechanisms of therapeutic change, not just on
interventions. In this practical and original book, two highly
respected clinician-researchers integrate findings from cognitive
psychology, infant developmental research, emotion theory, and
relational therapy to show how change takes place in the
interpersonal context of the therapeutic relationship and involves
experiencing the self in new ways, not just altering behavior or
cognitions. Making use of extensive clinical transcripts
accompanied by moment-to-moment analyses of the change process, the
authors illustrate the subtle interaction of cognitive and
interpersonal factors. They show how therapy unfolds at three
different levels-in fluctuations in the patient's world, in the
therapeutic relationship, and in the therapist's inner
experience-and provide clear guidelines for when to focus on a
particular level. The result is a superb integration of cognitive
and interpersonal approaches that will have a major impact on
theory and practice. A Jason Aronson Book
