Mindfulness, the Buddhist practice of mental awareness, has come into active use in psychotherapy in clinical applications. Using it consistently can take years of practice in meditation. In this second edition, contributors expand upon the practice, not to speed up the process, but it make it even more applicable in therapy, particularly the therapy relationship. Topics include two examinations of the meaning of mindfulness, including seeking common ground between Western and Eastern psychologies; the therapy relationship, including mindfulness in clinical training, cultivating attention and compassion, relational mindfulness, and practical ethics; clinical applications, including teaching mindfulness in therapy, working with depression, accepting what comes in anxiety, embracing pain in psycho-physiological disorders, developing mindfulness and insight in trauma therapy, breaking addiction, and working with children; and working on the past, present and future in the roots of mindfulness, in its neurobiology, and positive psychology.
