Increasingly, these interventions are used in therapeutic practice. They encourage clients to process their experience fully, as it arises, without judgement.

Recenzje

"There have been myriad self-help books and workbooks published on the topic of using mindfulness to treat eating disorders, but no comprehensive volume pulling together theory and treatment outcomes research for scientist-practitioners. Thus, Lea M. DeSole's edited volume Eating Disorders and Mindfulness: Exploring Alternative Approaches to Treatment is both timely and relevant." - Leslie Karwoski Anderson, Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment & Prevention, 21:4
