Mindfultherapies blog is a continuation of the project that led to the authorship of the book “Mindfulness Centered Therapies: An Integrative Approach” by J. David Cole and Carol Ladas-Gaskin. It is a textbook that provides a how-to approach to integrating mindfulness into a therapy practice. It describes three existing mindfulness based therapies (Hakomi, Internal Family Systems and Focusing), and uses sample dialogues and film clips to illustrate transition steps that integrate these three approaches into a single mindfulness centered method. It also includes discussions of other forms of mindfulness based work: the cognitive work of David Burns, the Awareness Wheel and the Progoff Intensive Journal. The book is in paperback and it is accompanied by a DVD illustrating the application of processes described in the book with clips from rehearsed therapy sessions. One can purchased the DVD itself or buy the book alone and access the clips from the Mindfulness Centered Therapies website at www.mindfulnessbooks.com. A password required for access to the online clips can be found on page eight of the book.
