Summary

Mindfulness for Two by Kelly G. Wilson offers a deep dive into the intersection of mindfulness and psychotherapy, focusing primarily on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). The book lucidly defines mindfulness as viewed through the ACT lens and examines how it relates to the six core ACT processes and the therapeutic relationship. Grounded firmly in behavioural science, Wilson articulates the principles that underpin the ACT model with exceptional clarity. The latter section serves as a practical manual for therapists, providing advice on cultivating mindfulness both in clients and themselves, enriched by Wilson's characteristic warmth, humour, and insight.
