"My impression is that MiCBT is as much a marketing effortas a therapeutic and scientific one. If Mindfulness-Integrated CBT:Principles and Practice attracts the interest of otherinvestigators as it deserves, it will be interesting to see how thecomparative outcome data emerge and to what populations eachapproach will be more effective." (Psyccritiques, 8 August 2012)
A brilliant integration of Buddhism into CBT. It is heart-warmingfrom my side to see the depth of change which is possible withMiCBT. The integration of Buddhism with MiCBT is incrediblyskilful. The book has the capacity to benefit so many, directlyboth therapists and clients, and countless others indirectly.
