Mindfulness-integrated CBT (eBook)

Bruno Cayoun DPsych is Director of the MiCBT Institute and Research Associate at the School of Psychology, University of Tasmania, and a Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Hobart, Australia. He is the principal developer of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and has been teaching this approach as a crisis intervention and relapse prevention method to mental health professionals internationally for the past eight years.

"My impression is that MiCBT is as much a marketing effort
as a therapeutic and scientific one. If Mindfulness-Integrated CBT:
Principles and Practice attracts the interest of other
investigators as it deserves, it will be interesting to see how the
comparative outcome data emerge and to what populations each
approach will be more effective."

A brilliant integration of Buddhism into CBT. It is heart-warming
from my side to see the depth of change which is possible with
MiCBT. The integration of Buddhism with MiCBT is incredibly
skilful. The book has the capacity to benefit so many, directly
both therapists and clients, and countless others indirectly.

Approach to Finding Release From Addictive Patterns'

Bruno Cayoun is a man who practises what he preaches, and this
is evident in his writing. Mindfulness-integrated
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is comprehensive, clear, practical
and easily accessible. Integrating sound theory (both Eastern and
Western) and grounded in solid research, it gently and
informatively guides the reader through its step-by-step
applications. A mindful breath of fresh air for the world of
therapy, it promises to enhance the lives of our clients...and
ourselves.

This book is a wonderful achievement, bringing together the best
of behavioural and cognitive science with the wise insights from
Buddhist teachings; a wonderful contribution to the
literature.
