Yoga and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-09104-4 (ISBN)
Drawing on his years of monastic training and his extensive experiential, clinical and research knowledge on the utility of Yoga meditation in standardized and evidence-based medicine protocols, the author describes symptom-specific clinical applications of Yogic/meditative techniques using standardized protocols for the various psychiatric and psychosomatic conditions. In addition, he explains the value of these techniques in reducing stress and improving quality of life in healthy populations. Dr. Pradhan names the proposed integrative model of psychotherapy Yoga and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (Y-MBCT). Unlike other models, Y-MBCT uses Yoga in its entirety (all eight limbs, including meditation) rather than piecemeal. The standardized and evidence-based format of Yoga meditation described in this book will help all aspiring Yoga practitioners and will hopefully also provide the impetus for multicenter research studies on the value of this ancient wisdom.

lt;p>"This book explores the use of yoga-based mindfulness therapy as an individual or adjunctive therapy for psychiatric conditions. ... The audience includes mental healthcare providers and students interested in understanding the integration of yogic practice into modern day psychiatric treatments. It is also an excellent reference for yoga practitioners on the history, philosophy, and practice of this art." (Michael Easton, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2015)
