Product Description
Review
"A clear account of what MBCT is, both in its theoretical perspectives and its actual practices. Written in accessible language, it is an extraordinary achievement that will be highly valued by both participants in mindfulness classes and their teachers." – Mark Williams, from the Foreword
"This fascinating book lays out, concisely, the distinctive features of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and explains fully and clearly the key theoretical and practical features of the approach… Rarely has a book encouraged me to believe that everyone could benefit by reading it and many more by practising what it describes… I constantly found myself jotting down phrases and concepts that I would like to share with the world – or at least my clients and family!" - Kathy Sleigh, Healthcare Counselling & Psychotherapy Journal, Vol. 9 No. 2, April 2009
"This is a book of great value, as a reference work and a text to be read straight through, for beginning and more advanced practitioners in MBCT and others seeking an understanding of the area, and it comes highly recommended." - Jane Hutton, Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy
Product Description
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is increasingly used in therapeutic practice. It encourages clients to process experience without judgement as it arises, helping them to change their relationship with challenging thoughts and feelings, and accept that, even though difficult things may happen, it is possible to work with these in new ways.
This book provides a basis for understanding the key theoretical and practical features of MBCT. Focusing on a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy programme that is offered in a group context to those who are vulnerable to depressive relapses, the text is divided into 30 distinctive features that characterise the approach.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Distinctive Features provides a concise, straightforward summary for professionals and trainees in the field. Its easy-to-use format will appeal to both experienced practitioners and newcomers with an interest in MBCT.

Great Intro to MBCT,
This review is from: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Distinctive Features (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book because it offers a brief, concise overview of MBCT. Those who are already familiar with the 8 week group format may not find it as helpful- best for those who are new to this approach and interested in learning more about MCBT. I find the section that goes over theoretical underpinnings and rationale to be really well written and accessible. Rebecca does a great job in illustrating why the "doing mode" of mind can lead us down the depression path and how cultivating the "being mode" can be highly protective against relapse.

This review is from: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Distinctive Features (Paperback)
I purchased this book because it was the only MBCT book for kindle and I was impressed with the sample. I have found it to be well written: thorough, yet concise.The book can be seen as a rundown on the 8-week MBCT program as designed by Williams, Tesdale, and Segal that draws heavily from MBSR. The author breaks down the theory in part 1 and the practice in part 2. Selected quote: In itself, sadness is not a problem. It is an innate part of being human, but when we endeavor to avoid it by trying to "fix," manipulate or struggle with it, a passing sadness can lead to persistent unhappiness. |
