This authoritative book, written by three researchers affiliated with the University of Washington, presents an innovative relapse prevention program that integrates mindfulness practices with evidence-based cognitive and behavioral strategies.
In eight carefully structured sessions, participants gain awareness of their own inner experiences, step out of habitual patterns of thought and behavior that can trigger relapse, and acquire concrete skills to meet the day-to-day challenges of recovery. Clinicians get essential information and materials for implementing the approach with their clients, including detailed guidelines for faciliating sessions, scripted examples of guided meditations, and more than 20 reproducible handouts and forms.
