Imagine an 8-week program that can help you overcome depression,
anxiety, and stress--by simply learning new ways to respond to your
own thoughts and feelings. That program is mindfulness-based
cognitive therapy (MBCT), and it has been tested and proven
effective in clinical trials throughout the world. Now you can get
the benefits of MBCT any time, any place, by working through this
carefully constructed book. The expert authors introduce specific
mindfulness practices to try each week, plus reflection questions,
tools for keeping track of progress, and helpful comments from
others going through the program. Like a trusted map, this book
guides you step by step along the path of change. Guided
meditations are provided on the accompanying MP3 CD and are also
available as audio downloads. Note: The MP3 CD can be played on CD
players (only those marked "MP3-enabled") as well as on most
computers. See also the authors' The Mindful Way through
Depression, which demonstrates these proven strategies with
in-depth stories and examples. Plus, mental health professionals,

Well known for applying mindfulness to the treatment of depression,
pioneering researcher John Teasdale now explores the broader
changes that people can experience through contemplative practices.
What goes on in our minds when we are mindful? What does it mean to
talk of mindfulness as a way of being? From a scientific
perspective, how do core elements of contemplative traditions have
their beneficial effects? Teasdale describes two types of knowing
that human beings have evolved--conceptual and
holistic-intuitive--and shows how mindfulness can achieve a
healthier balance between them. He masterfully describes the
mechanisms by which this shift in consciousness not only can reduce
emotional suffering, but also can lead to greater joy and
compassion and a transformed sense of self.
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.
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:
