Relaxation, Meditation, & Mindfulness: A Mental Health Practitioner's Guide to New and Traditional Approaches

Jonathan C. Smith PhD, "Relaxation, Meditation, & Mindfulness: A Mental Health Practitioner's Guide to New and Traditional Approaches"
2005 | ISBN-10: 0826127452 | 380 pages | PDF | 15 MB

Based on a newly revised theory of relaxation, ABC2 Relaxation Theory, devised by the author, this book explains why hundreds of techniques used by professionals typically sort into six groups. The integration of these groups forms the core of the book. Smith's findings also reveal that not only can relaxation go beyond stress management, but that different families of relaxation have different effects.

Rich with practical suggestions and concrete illustrations of application, this comprehensive training guide details the following techniques:
Yoga Stretching
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Breathing Exercise
Autogenic Suggestion
Imagery/Relaxing Self-Talk
Meditation (including Mindfulness)

Special applications include:
relaxation with children
relaxation and pain management
relaxation, spirituality, and religion
