Praise for Acceptance and Mindfulness in Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Understanding and Applying the New Therapies

"One of the most fruitful aspects of the encounter between classical Buddhist knowledge and modern science has been the emergence of new therapeutic and educational approaches that integrate contemplative practice, such as mindfulness, and contemporary psychology methods, such as those of cognitive therapy. The systematic approach of this book, wherein the insights of both classical Buddhist and contemporary psychology are integrated, represents a most beneficial and powerful method of ensuring a healthy mind and heart."
—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

"What has been missing in the midst of partisan battles between orthodox CBT therapists and enthusiastic proponents of newer acceptance/mindfulness approaches is a reasoned, scientifically grounded discourse that would help researchers and clinicians alike sort through the various claims and counterclaims. This book, skillfully conceived and edited by James Herbert and Evan Forman, provides just such a sober and open-minded appraisal of a trend that has sometimes suffered both from too much hype from one side and too sweeping a rejection by the other. This volume encourages careful consideration of both positions and can advance evidence-based psychosocial therapy both conceptually and procedurally to the benefit of all."
—From the Foreword by Gerald C. Davison, PhD, University of Southern California

Acceptance and Mindfulness in Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Understanding and Applying the New Therapies

James Herbert and Evan Forman have been at the forefront of treatment development and evaluation for acceptance and mindfulness based approaches to complementing cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for many years now. It is this irreproachable level of expertise and credibility that they bring to this excellent edited volume. This book is extremely well-organized and crafted and provides an outstanding overview for those new to this area of study, while at the same time sharing important nuances for those who are already well-versed in mindfulness and acceptance based approaches to psychotherapy. I recommend this text highly and feel that it merits an important place on the bookshelves of clinicians, academics, and researchers alike.
By Sonja V. Batten, Ph.D.
This landmark volume is an indispensable resource for any clinician seeking an authoritative, insightful, and nuanced presentation of psychotherapy approaches at the cutting edge of psychological science and practice. My graduate students in my psychotherapy class give this remarkable book rave reviews, and I have already recommended it to many clinical and research colleagues. Kudos to the editors and the authors of the splendidly lucid, integrative chapters!
By Steven Jay Lynn, Ph.D., Binghamton University
