New Book: Mindfulness in Clinical Practice
Richard Sears, along with advisory board members Robert Denton and Dennis Tirch, have signed a book contract with Professional Resource Press. The book will be called "Mindfulness in Clinical Practice," and should be available summer 2011. Our intention is to now have an answer when therapists asks us "What book would you recommend to give a good overview of mindfulness?" The book will also include an audio CD containing guided mindfulness practices.
