Meditation and Yoga in Psychotherapy: Techniques for Clinical Practice

This reader-friendly text is directed toward therapists and health care workers who are considering incorporating yoga and meditation into their work.  These technologies are time-honored and appear to have beneficial effects on contemporary clients and patients. Meditation and Yoga for Psychotherapy serves as an informative introduction to these practices, and explains how a therapist might integrate such practices into their work, especially those who are receptive to Eastern thought and practice. The chapters on neuroscience research and healthy aging are unique in books of this nature, and the discussion of alleviating depression alone is worth the price of the book.
