Mindfulness Meditation in Clinical Settings

This book lives up to its title. It provides a clearly written introduction to the art of practicing and using mindfulness meditation in clinical settings, and a good survey of the scientific research. The book includes a valuable summary of the benefits that therapists themselves may gain from mindfulness meditation. This is an excellent introduction to the field.

a great read for anyone

I bought this book as a gift for a family member who is a therapist but ended up enjoying it immensely myself. Its packed with insightful theory, practical advice and illustrative examples!

A bridge for two worlds.

I've been working in a pressure-filled environment for some time and haven't been able to find a book that will help me de-stress in a positive and enlightening manner. I picked up this book on a whim and haven't regretted it. Engaging and down to earth, it has become my newest outlet after a long work week.

An insightful and fascinating look at western science and eastern thought

A great read for practitioners and lay people alike. An easy read that provides a wealth of information. I highly recommend this book.
