Mindfulness and acceptance: expanding the cognitive-behavioral tradition
Choice Reviews Online July 1, 2005 Hayes, Steven C. 1948- 1,291 citations
This edited volume presents chapters on acceptance- and mindfulness-based approaches within cognitive-behavioral therapy, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Each chapter describes the theoretical rationale, empirical status, or clinical application of these approaches to specific problems such as anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, substance use, and couple therapy. The book argues that acceptance and mindfulness strategies can enhance traditional behavioral treatments by targeting the relationship with internal experiences rather than their content alone.
