"Psychological therapies have enormous potential to alleviate suffering and transform people’s lives. But they depend on psychological therapists who are both skilled and resourced to do this important and challenging work. Research tells us which therapies are effective and regardless of therapy modality that the therapist is important. This book seeks to resource therapists with mindfulness; more than this to match specific meditation techniques to therapeutic modalities.

​

With clarity, deep subject knowledge and a wealth of experience, this book sets out how mindfulness can support therapists in their work. Recognising that therapists bring themselves to work, Dr Ross explains how mindfulness can support their effectiveness, but also ensure they are nourished to do the work.

​

The book is imbued with three interwoven strands that together give it its strength. First, Dr Ross is an experienced therapist, and draws on a wealth of experience that brings the book to life and lends it humanity. Second, he walks the talk of clarity, compassion, courage, and a sense of optimism about psychotherapeutic work. Third, he draws together a deep understanding of both therapy and Buddhism. Finally, he weaves these strands together masterfully into a compelling and powerful weft.

​

Several research studies suggest that therapists who learn mindfulness do better personally and professionally. This is a book any therapist with an interest in mindfulness should read to enrich their work.”
