The second edition of Mindfulness-Based Treatment
Approaches discusses the conceptual foundation,
implementation, and evidence base for the four
best-researched mindfulness treatments:
mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR),
mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), dialectical
behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment
therapy (ACT). Eastern spiritual traditions have long
maintained that mindfulness meditation can improve
well-being. More recently, mindfulness-based treatment
approaches have been successfully utilized to treat
anxiety, depressive relapse, eating disorders,
psychosis, and borderline personality disorder. All
chapters in this new edition are written by researchers
with extensive clinical experience. Each chapter
includes the conceptual rationale for using a
mindfulness-based treatment and a review of the relevant
evidence base. A detailed case study illustrates how the
intervention is implemented in ''real life,'' exploring
the clinical and practical issues that may arise and how
they can be managed. This book will be of use to
clinicians and researchers interested in understanding
and implementing mindfulness based treatments. * Covers

disorders, stress, pain, relationships, and more*
