Salepage : Mark Williams – Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression
This celebrated publication, now in a new edition, has introduced tens of thousands of therapists to mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for depression, a validated 8-week treatment. The authors describe the “whys” and “how-tos” of using mindfulness techniques and cognitive therapies that have been found to improve depression recovery and avoid recurrence. Clinicians are also encouraged to practice mindfulness, which is a necessary foundation for teaching others. There are 45 reproducible handouts provided. Purchasers have access to a companion website that includes digital audio recordings of the guided mindfulness activities (meditations and mindful movement), as well as all of the reproducibles, all of which are available to download and print in a compact 8 1/2″ x 11″ size. Clients can access the audio recordings exclusively through a different website.
