"Mindfulness in therapy is often understood as teachingpatients to be more mindful in order to better cope with disorders.While this is reasonable in the context of healthcare, it does notconsider the role that mindfulness can play for therapiststhemselves. On the one hand, teaching mindfulness to patientsshould be based in a therapist's own mindfulness experience,while on the other a growing number of studies show that therapistscan benefit personally and professionally from mindfulness classes.This book is very helpful for developing mindfulness as atherapist's 'home base'."--Prof.Dr. Thomas Heidenreich, Hochschule Esslingen
"This is the first book supporting therapists in theirpersonal mindfulness practice. It introduces weekly exercises in asystematic, detailed and well-structured way, with recordings tosupport the novice. Drawing on experience, the authors describeexactly what everybody can experience when starting to practicemindfulness, and they take the reader by the hand so he or shereally feels accompanied."--Eckhard Roediger(MD), Director of the Frankfurt Schema TherapyInstitute, President of the International Society of SchemaTherapy (ISST)
