It's All Formal: Understanding the Nuances of Mindfulness-Based Practice.
Summary of "It's All Formal: Understanding the Nuances of Mindfulness-Based Practice."
"Psychology Moment by Moment: A Guide to Enhancing your Clinical Practice with Mindfulness and Meditation" was written by Labbé (Psychology moment by moment: A guide to enhancing your clinical practice with mindfulness and meditation. New Harbinger, CA, 2011) to review the literature supporting many mindfulness-based interventions and to highlight evidence-based practices. It is written for the mental health clinician who is interested in integrating mindfulness-based interventions into their practice. Chapters range from an initial description of the construct of mindfulness to later chapters that introduce treatment protocols for special populations (children, aging adults, couples) and specific illnesses (chronic illness, stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorders).
