Working in Stress? Good Book for your Library

I am a wellness coach at a cancer center and stress is one of our biggest challenges. Last year I bought this book in hopes that it would serve as a resource for me and staff around "mindfullness training" and stress reduction techniques.

It has been helpful for it has not only helped build my knowledge and understanding around mindfullness training, but it also has given me a understanding of the empirical evidence. Even though I am not a therapists the case studies have been very helpful in building my understanding of how mindfullness training works in real world situations.

This book has accompanied me on several plane trips when I usually take a good mystery, but instead have been deep inside mindfullness concepts I did not what to give up. It's packed full of information - but even for a wellness coach a must if you are working on stress in the worksite.

Eastern spiritual traditions have long maintained that mindfulness meditation can improve well-being. More recently, mindfulness-based treatment approaches have been successfully utilized to treat anxiety, depressive relapse, eating disorders, psychosis, and borderline personality disorder. This book discusses the conceptual foundation, implementation, and evidence base for the four best-researched mindfulness treatments: mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
All chapters were written by researchers with extensive clinical experience. Each chapter includes the conceptual rationale for using a mindfulness-based treatment and a review of the relevant evidence base. A detailed case study illustrates how the intervention is implemented in "real life," exploring the clinical and practical issues that may arise and how they can be managed. This book will be of use to clinicians and researchers interested in understanding and implementing mindfulness based treatments.
