Reviews and Endorsements
"MBRP was a frontrunner in the application of mindfulness and self-acceptance theory to the challenges that people face when they become caught up in addictive substances and behaviors. This updated second edition reflects the continued growth of the conceptual foundations of MBRP. It extends the work of the first edition in rich and meaningful ways, encompassing ongoing research, adaptation to different formats, and ever-broader clinical applications. As in the first edition, the attention to and sharing of detail is impressive, making this a truly state-of-the-art teaching volume for advanced students and training resource for professionals." - Jean L. Kristeller, PhD, founder, Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT); Department of Psychology (Emerita), Indiana State University.
"In the decade since this book was originally published, MBRP has gained considerably more empirical support. The expanded second edition represents an important update. It explains the rationale and theoretical underpinnings of MBRP and provides a session-by-session 'how-to' guide. This book is an extremely important tool for clinicians who choose to use MBRP in their practice and for students who want to learn more about this well-established, evidence-based practice." - Dennis M. Donovan, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Emeritus), University of Washington School of Medicine.
"This book continues to be the best available resource for establishing and maintaining an MBRP practice. All chapters are clearly written and easy to follow. In addition to detailing the content of each session, the authors effectively prepare the reader for the individual and group dynamics (including common challenges) likely to manifest in most, if not all, MBRP groups. The second edition reflects wisdom gained from an additional decade of author experience and practice, as well as the vast amount of research on MBRP and addictions published since the first edition." - Bruce S. Liese, PhD, ABPP, Professor of Family Medicine and Psychiatry, and Clinical Director, Cofrin Logan Center for Addiction Research and Treatment, University of Kansas.
