The essential guide to MiCBT for therapists working in clinical settings
The Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy offers therapists working in clinical settings a practical set of evidence-based techniques derived from mindfulness (vipassana) training and the principles of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. The increasing popularity of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy (MiCBT) is principally attributed to its transdiagnostic applications. It offers novel tools that address a broad range of psychological disorders both acute and chronic, including those with complex comorbidities, and helps prevent relapse.
The authoritative guide to this unique approach includes:
- A clear explanation of MiCBT's origins and development, structure and content, scientific underpinnings and supporting empirical evidence
- A comprehensive guide to the 10-session MiCBT program for groups and individual clients that includes worksheets and handouts for each session and suggestions to overcome common difficulties
- A presentation of the research and practical experience of the authors, noted experts in the field of MiCBT
Written for mental health therapists working with groups and individual clients, The Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy offers an effective guide for implementing the principles of MiCBT within their professional practice.

The Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy offers therapists working in clinical settings a practical set of evidence-based techniques derived from mindfulness (vipassana) training and the principles of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. The increasing popularity of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy (MiCBT) is principally attributed to its transdiagnostic applications. It offers novel tools that address a broad range of psychological disorders both acute and chronic, including those with complex comorbidities, and helps prevent relapse.
The authoritative guide to this unique approach includes:
- A clear explanation of MiCBT's origins and development, structure and content, scientific underpinnings and supporting empirical evidence
- A comprehensive guide to the 10-session MiCBT program for groups and individual clients that includes worksheets and handouts for each session and suggestions to overcome common difficulties
- A presentation of the research and practical experience of the authors, noted experts in the field of MiCBT
Written for mental health therapists working with groups and individual clients, The Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy offers an effective guide for implementing the principles of MiCBT within their professional practice. The text is accompanied by online resources, including free downloads of full-size client handouts and audio instructions for the practice of mindfulness meditations.
"Mindfulness-integrated CBT has made a unique contribution to evidence-based approaches in health care. The evidence shows that it helps people with some of the most serious physical and emotional difficulties, as well as working well to enhance flourishing and well-being. This manual for therapists and teachers is a very welcome step forward." Professor Mark Williams, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Oxford, Co-author of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for Depression
"This important work is a masterful integration of mindfulness meditation training and clinical science for individual and group therapy. The authors explain the theoretical foundation of MiCBT, followed by generous, session-by- session instructions for every aspect of treatment. MiCBT is an innovative, transdiagnostic approach to clinical care that will surely inspire and inform clinicians for years to come." Christopher Germer, PhD, Lecturer, Harvard Medical School, Author of The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion, Co-editor of Mindfulness and Psychotherapy
"MiCBT integrates the principal evidence-based methods of traditional CBT with mindfulness meditation with seamless grace. I highly recommend this comprehensive and helpful clinical handbook to mental health professionals." Shauna Shapiro, PhD, Professor of counseling psychology, Santa Clara University, Co-author of The art and science of mindfulness and Mindful Discipline
