Clinicians are now routinely encouraging their clients to focus, be aware, open, and accepting, thereby deriving benefit from the mindfulness experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow has mindfulness, a treatment tool that might easily have been dismissed as esoteric only a few short years ago, become so widely accepted and applied? One obvious answer: because it works. The empirical foundation documenting the therapeutic merits of mindfulness is already substantial and is still growing. \u003cem\u003eMindfulness and Hypnosis\u003c\/em\u003e is not a book about documenting the therapeutic merits of mindfulness, however. Rather, this book is the first of its kind to address how and, most importantly, why guided mindfulness meditations can enhance treatment. The focus in this book is on the structure of guided mindfulness meditations and, especially, the role of suggestion in these processes. Specifically, one of the primary questions addressed in this book is: when a psychotherapist conducts guided mindfulness meditations (GMMs) for some clinical purpose, how does mindfulness work?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn posing this question, other questions arise that are every bit as compelling: do GMMs contain structural elements that can be identified and amplified, and thereby employed more efficiently? How do we determine who is most likely to benefit from such methods? Can GMMs be improved by adapting them to the needs of specific individuals rather than employing scripted \"one size fits all\" approaches?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDiscussing the role of suggestion in experience and offering the author's concrete suggestions for integrating this work into psychotherapy, this book is a practical guide to hypnosis, focusing, and mindfulness for the clinician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597015793900,"sku":"9780393706970","price":75.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4b9d53647565a68a684d547c85880fa7.jpg?v=1777954994","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/mindfulness-and-hypnosis-by-michael-d-yapko-9780393706970","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
