Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy For Dummies Paperback – Illustrated, August 26, 2013

At this time I have not read the entire book, but so far the material seems sound and the book seems to constitute a fairly good introduction to MBCT.The author writes in an easy to read style, and the material does not presuppose you are a counseling psychology graduate student or therapist, so the book is a nice read for both professional and non-professional. Could be used in a class or seminar dealing with Mindfulness, CBT or Dialectical BT. Can also be read in conjunction with other materials for courses in Transpersonal or Humanistic-Existential Psychology. Not a bad read for any student of therapist who does not have a background in CBT and wants to add this dimension to your approach.Very congruent with therapies which emphasize staying in the moment or in the now whenever possible ...For those who do not have such experience a decent into to the notion of living or doing therapy "in the moment" or "in the now". For me, I find the book a worthy addition to my mindfulness library ...

Reliable and good quality. Very happy with everything I’ve gotten from Thrive Books.

This is a decent book. You have to follow the exercises to get the benefits though. I personally liked The Mindful Way Through Depression better. It covers similar material, and has more explanation of the theory behind mindfulness. I'm a geeky person though; others who are just trying to learn the techniques and care little for explanations may may well prefer the MCBT for Dummies book.

Great reference. Easy to understand. Practical guide for clinicians.

I love this book. It is very insightful without being complicated. I would recommend this book for everyone. Mindfulness in itself can help everyone to have a more full filling life.

Wonderful book! Very useful and comprehensive.

I just love this, I bought the Audible version and listened on my phone. The narrator sounds like the narrator in the Winnie the Pooh series. The exercises sound so simple, but when you put them into practice, you will notice a positive change in the way you see things almost right away. I'm going to gift this book, and I'm planning to listen again. It's like a warm cup of tea, I would recommend this book to anyone!

I read this to help me get more in touch with my emotions. The book is not well organized or well-thought-out. The logic of MBCT was not touched on so I never knew what we were trying to accomplish. I read this and still don't know what MBCT is. A much better book for working with your emotions is Constructive Wallowing by Tina Gilbertson.
