Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Chronic Pain

This unique new guide integrates recent advances in the biopsychosocial understanding of chronic pain with state-of-the-art cognitive therapy and mindfulness techniques to offer a fresh, highly-effective MBCT approach to helping individuals manage chronic pain.

There is intense interest from clinicians, researchers, and patients alike in mindfulness-based therapeutic techniques, and the integration of mindfulness theory and practice with CBT.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Chronic Pain provides everything a therapist needs to integrate MBCT into their practice and optimise its delivery, including a manualised 8-session programme and guidance on how to teach MBCT skills.

The book features case studies and real-world examples that help practitioners to avoid common pitfalls and optimise the delivery of MBCT for chronic pain for their own individual clients. Additionally, it features links to guided meditations, client and therapist handouts, and other powerful tools.
