This practical guide helps therapists from virtually any specialty or theoretical orientation choose and adapt mindfulness practices most likely to be effective with particular patients, while avoiding those that are contraindicated. The authors provide a wide range of meditations that build the core skills of focused attention, mindfulness, and compassionate acceptance. Vivid clinical examples show how to weave the practices into therapy, tailor them to each patient's needs, and overcome obstacles. Therapists also learn how developing their own mindfulness practice can enhance therapeutic relationships and personal well-being. The Appendix offers recommendations for working with specific clinical problems. Free audio downloads (narrated by the authors) and accompanying patient handouts for selected meditations from the book are available at www.sittingtogether.com.

I feel like Ive been waiting for this book for my entire career! What a practical, down to earth, easy to use guide that still manages to tackle in straightforward what can often be a somewhat abstract and challenging subject of mindfulness. Plenty has been said on the research end and on the theory end, (and this book includes those) but until now, far too little on the practical side of really bringing mindfulness in the therapeutic encounter. Thank you.

As a longtime clinician who hasn't known how to bring Mindfulness practices into the consulting room, I found this book very helpful. The writing is clear, the exercises well described, and the techniques seem within reach. The book encourages clinicians to begin and deepen their own practices, and while I'm unlikely to immediately follow that suggestion, I feel the book has plenty to offer me and others in my shoes. Certainly, it awakened my interest in the uses of Mindfulness together with other kinds of psychotherapies, and it made me a better informed clinician, more likely to know how and when to make appropriate referrals. I also can imagine using some of the more basic exercises with patients, even though I lack deep personal experience of Mindfulness. I particularly appreciate the way the authors suggest different meditations for different conditions - anxiety, depression, traumatic loss and so forth. A thoughtful, useful, hands on book. A great place to start for beginners like me.
