This new edition of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Distinctive
Features (MBCT) provides a concise, straightforward overview of MBCT,
fully updated to include recent developments. The training process
underpinning MBCT is based on mindfulness meditation practice and
invites a new orientation towards internal experience as it arises - one
that is characterised by acceptance and compassion. The approach
supports a recognition that even though difficulty is an intrinsic part
of life, it is possible to work with it in new ways.
The book provides a basis for understanding the key theoretical and
practical features of MBCT and retains its accessible and easy-to-use
format that made the first edition so popular, with 30 distinctive
features that characterise the approach. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive
Therapy: Distinctive Features will be essential reading for
professionals and trainees in the field. It is an appealing read for
both experienced practitioners and newcomers with an interest in MBCT.
