This course is new or has been updated recently. This revised edition (Edition #3), includes the current research and theory related to mindfulness, with new sections outlining the neuroscience of mindfulness, boundary conditions of its growing application, and updated research on mechanisms of change and yet keeps the fundamentals central. It is essential to have a clear foundation, which can be continually augmented with current publications that highlight the most recent research, theory, and clinical applications. Our intention is to offer those in the helping profession a foundation to explore the potential of integrating mindfulness into their work and their lives. Although an academic text, it is offered as part of a much larger conversation within psychology and the helping professions as a vehicle to explore and expand our visions of health and healing.

Most important, we offer this book as a journey into the richness and beauty of mindfulness. Educational ObjectivesUpon completion of this course, the clinician will be able to:
