This lucidly written guide integrates cutting-edge neuroscience
with mindfulness and traditional Buddhist practices to show mental
health professionals how they can help clients develop a more
loving, kind and forgiving attitude towards themselves. Researchers
now understand that self-compassion is a skill that can be
strengthened through deliberate practice, and that it is one of the
strongest predictors of mental health and wellness. The brain's
compassion centre, which neuroscientists call the Care Circuit, can
be targeted and fortified using specific techniques. Filled with
illuminating case examples, Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy shows
readers how to apply self-compassion practices to treat depression,
anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship problems, self-sabotage
and more. Readers do not need to have any background in mindfulness
in order to benefit from this book. However, those that do will
find that self-compassion practices have the capacity to add new
layers of depth to mindfulness-based therapies such as Dialectical
Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based
Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
In the Preface to the third volume, we described the evolution of
this Series and the changes that have taken place in the field
since the first volume appeared. The contents of the current volume
continue the com mitment to a broadly based perspective on research
related to con sciousness and self-regulation which was embodied in
the previous three volumes. Chapters are included which consider
the role of con sciousness in cognitive theory and clinical
phenomena. Several of the contributions to this volume are
concerned with the nature of self-reg ulation and the role of
conscious processing in the mediation of self regulated behavior.
Most of the authors adopt a psychobiological ap proach to their
subject matter. Our selection of contributors with a bias toward
this approach reflects our own views that the psychobiological
approach is a very fruitful one and that the "architecture" of the
nervous system places important constraints on the types of
theories that are possible in this emerging area. While the subject
matter of the chapters in this volume is quite diverse, the
contributions are united by their emphasis on the impor tance of
consciousness and/or self-regulation in the understanding of
behavior and experience. We have selected what we believe is repre
sentative of the best theory and research in the diverse areas
which bear on the theme of this series, maintaining a balance
between basic and clinical research."
Building on the legacy of the groundbreaking first edition, the
Editors of this unique volume have selected more than 100 leading
emotion researchers from around the world and asked them to address
14 fundamental questions about the nature and origins of emotion.
For example: What is an emotion? How are emotions organized in the
brain? How do emotion and cognition interact? How are emotions
embodied in the social world? How and why are emotions
communicated? How are emotions physically embodied? What develops
in emotional development? Each chapter addresses one of these
questions, with often divergent answers from the experts
represented here: Adam Anderson, Lauren Atlas, Yair Bar-Haim, Lisa
Feldman Barrett, Kent Berridge, Jennifer Urbano Blackford, Caroline
Blanchard, Margaret Bradley, Ralph Adolphs, Joshua Carlson, Laura
Carstensen, Luke Chang, Joan Chiao, Gerald Clore, Roshan Cools,

Seth, Alexander Shackman, Rebecca Shiner, Tania Singer, Peter
Sokol-Hessner, Leah Somerville, Daniel Tranel, Kay Tye, Tor Wager,
Leanne Williams, Rachel Yehuda, and David Zald. At the end of each
chapter, the Editors-Andrew Fox, Regina Lapate, Alexander Shackman,
and Richard Davidson-highlight key areas of agreement and
disagreement. In the final chapter-The Nature of Emotion: A
Research Agenda for the 21st Century-the Editors outline their own
perspective on the most important challenges facing the field today
and the most fruitful avenues for future research. Not a textbook
offering a single viewpoint, The Nature of Emotion reveals the
central issues in emotion research and theory in the words of many
of the leading scientists working in the field today, from senior
researchers to rising stars, providing a unique and highly
accessible guide for students, researchers, and clinicians.
This book defines management mistakes and offers a variety of
models to classify and interpret them. It describes the evolution
of management mistakes, techniques for identifying and disclosing
mistakes, the relationship between management and medical mistakes,
and steps to prevent and correct mistakes. Six case studies, drawn
from a real set of events in healthcare organizations, describe
management mistakes and are followed by commentaries by experts in
the field of healthcare management. They indicate steps that might
have produced more positive outcomes. Ultimately, managers will not
be completely successful in making healthcare better and more
cost-effective without viewing mistakes as learning opportunities.
This book is written for healthcare managers throughout the world
and for the benefit of their patients, staff and communities.
This book examines how Western behavioral science--which has generally focused on negative aspects of human nature--holds up to cross-cultural scrutiny, in particular the Tibetan Buddhist celebration of the human potential for altruism, empathy, and compassion. Resulting from a meeting between the Dalai Lama, leading Western scholars, and a group of Tibetan monks, this volume includes excerpts from these extraordinary dialogues as well as engaging essays exploring points of difference and overlap between the two perspectives.

Presenting the entirety of the 13th Mind and Life dialogue, this
book gathers the thoughts and contributions of the Dalai Lama, Jon
Kabat-Zinn, Richard J. Davidson, and other leading researchers in
the fields of meditation, medicine, psychology, and neuroscience.
Each contributor explores a particular aspect of the convergence
between meditative practice and modern science, thus providing a
greater understanding of the potential of the human mind. The
participants in the discussion seek to answer questions such as
"What effect does meditation have on suffering and pain? What role
does the mind play in emotional and physical well-being? To what
extent can the mind influence illness? "and "What impact does this
all have on the development of the human species?" This book is a
considered, engaging look at the nature of the mind, its capacity
to refine itself through training, and its role in physical and
emotional health.
