Sitting Together: Essential Skills for Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy

Sitting Together, the first hands-on guide to mindfulness-based psychotherapy

Today, more and more therapists are interested in bringing the power of mindfulness into their everyday clinical work. But how do you actually do that?

This groundbreaking book shows the way. Sitting Together helps therapists from virtually any specialty or theoretical orientation choose and adapt mindfulness practices most likely to be effective with particular clients and patients, while avoiding those that are contraindicated. Building on the foundation of a personal meditation practice, it introduces exercises designed to develop the core skills of concentration, open monitoring, and compassionate acceptance, and brings each to life with detailed clinical illustrations.

Written for clinicians and by clinicians, Sitting Together is an indispensable handbook for all therapists who wish to incorporate mindfulness into both their personal and professional lives.

"An excellent guide, filled with skillful means and wise understanding."
