Acceptance and Mindfulness in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Understanding and Applying the New Therapies

James Herbert, Evan Forman, Eds

What has been missing in the midst of partisan battles between orthodox CBT therapists and enthusiastic proponents of newer acceptance/mindfulness approaches is a reasoned, scientifically grounded discourse that would help researchers and clinicians alike sort through the various claims and counter-claims. This book, skillfully conceived and edited by James Herbert and Evan Forman, provides just such a sober and open-minded appraisal of a trend that has sometimes suffered both from too much hype from one side and too sweeping a rejection by the other. It encourages careful consideration of both positions and can advance evidence-based psychosocial therapy both conceptually and procedurally which will benefit us all.

Parenting Your Anxious Child with Mindfulness and Acceptance

A Powerful New Approach to Overcoming Fear, Panic, and Worry Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Christopher McCurry & Steven Hayes

Based on well-researched parent-child treatment programs, this book presents a set of skills parents can pass on to anxious children as young as four years old. These skills help kids learn to shift their focus away from anxious thoughts and feelings and focus instead on the things that are most important to them-relationships with friends, learning new things in school, and having fun.
Much of this book is devoted to helping parents understand the need the child's anxiety is expressing so that they can replace the anxiety with healthy, age-appropriate coping mechanisms and reduce parent-child struggles. Because the vast majority of anxious children have parents with anxiety disorders, parents also must learn to model these coping skills and respond, rather than automatically react, to their child's anxiety. Parents learn to step back, observe and understand their initial reactions, and try new and more effective responses instead.
The book addresses the difficult thoughts and feelings, such as guilt and sadness, parents sometimes face when raising an anxious child. This compassionate and effective guide emphasizes that emotional and behavioral problems are normal, and with the ACT skills in this book, they can be outgrown.
