Description: "A number of books have explored the benefits for psychotherapy clients of learning and practicing mindfulness. This is the first volume to focus specifically on how mindfulness can deepen the therapeutic relationship. Grounded in research, chapters demonstrate how therapists' own mindfulness practice can help them to listen more attentively and be more fully present. Leading proponents of different treatment models explore a range of applications in real-world clinical practice, making this a useful and compelling resource for clinicians of any orientation."--BOOK JACKET.
