Advances in Contemplative Psychotherapy by Joseph Loizzo

Advances in Contemplative Psychotherapy offers mental health professionals of all disciplines and orientations the most comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the state of the art and science in integrating mindfulness, compassion, and embodiment techniques.

"In this important volume, the authors have succeeded in deepening the current mutual embrace between psychotherapy and meditative practiceWritten with clarity and featuring leading minds in both domains, this book signals the emergence of a new, theory-linked contemplative psychotherapy that crosses schools and boundaries in its pursuit of real clinical deliverables."

Zindel Segal, PhD, distinguished professor of psychology in mood disorders, University of Toronto Scarborough

"Advances in Contemplative Psychotherapy offers the most comprehensive and authoritative overview of one of the hottest cutting edges in psychotherapy today—its merger with contemplative practice. A must have for anyone in this field."

Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ and coauthor of Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Transforms Mind, Brain, and Body

"While the goals of psychotherapy and contemplative practise share some important commonalities—the relief of suffering—until this volume, there was no compendium bringing these modalities together. Joe Loizzo and his colleagues have done a remarkable job in surveying this vast landscape. A must read for any clinician or provider wishing to incorporate contemplative practice into therapy."

Richard Davidson, author of The Emotional Life of Your Brain, founder, Center for Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin-Madison

"With business leaders, healthcare providers, educators, and celebrity influencers all touting the benefits of mindfulness and other forms of contemplative practice, it is becoming increasingly difficult to sift through the data and the hype, the science and the sales pitch. This updated edition of Advances in Contemplative Psychotherapy provides an illuminating tour of this burgeoning field, guided by an impressive and diverse roster of researchers, clinicians, and spiritual teachers. This insightful book examines the promise and the practical challenges of applying contemplative practices to the personal, clinical, and social problems we all face today."
