Mindfulnessbaserad kognitiv terapi vid depression (MBKT) är en gruppbehandling som integrerar mindfulness, kognitiva tekniker och meditationer för att förebygga återfall i depression. I detta standardverk berättar metodens grundare om behandlingens teoretiska bas, den forskning som gjorts inom området och om det vetenskapliga stödet. Med många exempel och dialoger visar de hur deltagarna får hjälp att radikalt förändra sitt förhållningssätt till tankar, känslor och kroppsförnimmelser – och därigenom förhindra att depressionen kommer tillbaka.Denna reviderade andra utgåva utgör en komplett manual med beskrivning av de olika sessionerna, formulär, arbetsblad och inlästa mindfulnessövningar. Boken är en ovärderlig kunskapskälla och läsupplevelse för alla som arbetar med depressionsbehandling och med mindfulness.Författarna är förgrundsgestalter inom MBKT och har mångårig klinisk erfarenhet.Svenskt förord av Ola Schenström, läkare, specialist i allmänmedicin och grundare av Mindfulnesscenter.För oss som arbetar professionellt med MBKT och andra mindfulnessbaserade metoder har bokens utgåvor ... snabbt blivit standardverk.

Mindfulness-baseret kognitiv terapi (MBKT) fokuserer på at lære deltagerne at foretage et enkelt, men radikalt skift i, hvordan de forholder sig til de tanker, følelser og kropsfornemmelser, der bidrager til tilbagefald ved depression. I bogen gives trinvise anvisninger på, hvordan man kan integrere meditationer, mindful bevægelse og kognitive interventioner i de strukturerede gruppesessioner. Deltagerne lærer at bryde fri af de vanemæssige og automatiske tanke- og kropsmønstre, der opstår, når de bliver deprimerede, og at forebygge, at disse mønstre løber løbsk. Bogen giver også klinikere vejledning i, hvordan de selv kan praktisere mindfulness – en vigtig forudsætning for at kunne formidle det til andre. Der præsenteres aktuelle resultater fra en lang række studier af MBKT’s virkningsfuldhed og de underliggende mekanismer, herunder studier af tilpassede versioner til behandling af andre psykiske og fysiske helbredsproblemer end depression. ”Denne bog har revolutioneret ikke blot behandlingen af depression, men hele psykoterapien som felt, bragt mindfulness-praksis ind i behandlingen af mange forstyrrelser og motiveret en eksplosion af forskning. Denne udgave rummer detaljerede retningslinjer for anvendelse af terapiformen, som er udviklet og videreudviklet gennem ti års erfaring. Den beskriver også den voksende mængde af dokumentation, der taler til fordel for mindfulness-baserede interventioner. Et ’must’ for klinikere og forskere.” Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, Yale University ”Som fagbog og især som behandlingsmanual sætter den nye standarder for autentisk, tro og relationel tilgang, ikke bare i sin struktur, men, endnu vigtigere, i sin tone – med andre ord i sin relation med både læseren og emnet.” Jon Kabat-Zinn i bogens forord ” Jeg vil ønske læseren god fornøjelse med en af de efter min mening allerbedste bøger om den kliniske anvendelse af mindfulness-baseret psykologisk intervention.” Jacob Piet i bogens forord

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common functional gastrointestinal disorder, causing pain, discomfort, and embarrassment to millions. While medically based treatments have demonstrated only limited effectiveness, recent research strongly supports the role of psychosocial factors in both symptom expression and symptom control. This book presents a brief cognitive-behavioral treatment approach that is suitable for use with individuals or groups. Delineating a clear medical rationale, the authors help clinicians both to reduce the stigma associated with IBS and to overcome client resistance to psychological treatment. Effective techniques are outlined for helping clients manage anxiety, anger, and shame; enhance their self-efficacy and stress management skills; and alleviate gastrointestinal distress. Session-by-session guidelines are illuminated by such useful features as sample therapist-client dialogues, lists of important points to cover, troubleshooting tips, and examples of recommended handouts and forms. Also covered in depth are treatment issues specific to women.

Cognitive therapy, with its clear-cut measurable techniques, has been a welcome innovation in recent years. However, the very specificity that lends itself so well to research and training has minimized the role of the therapeutic relationship, making it difficult for therapists to respond flexibly to different clinical situations. What is needed is an approach that focuses on the underlying mechanisms of therapeutic change, not just on interventions. In this practical and original book, two highly respected clinician-researchers integrate findings from cognitive psychology, infant developmental research, emotion theory, and relational therapy to show how change takes place in the interpersonal context of the therapeutic relationship and involves experiencing the self in new ways, not just altering behavior or cognitions. Making use of extensive clinical transcripts accompanied by moment-to-moment analyses of the change process, the authors illustrate the subtle interaction of cognitive and interpersonal factors. They show how therapy unfolds at three different levels—in fluctuations in the patient's world, in the therapeutic relationship, and in the therapist's inner experience—and provide clear guidelines for when to focus on a particular level. The result is a superb integration of cognitive and interpersonal approaches that will have a major impact on theory and practice. A Jason Aronson Book
