While this is reasonable in the context of healthcare, it does not consider the role that mindfulness can play for therapists themselves. On the one hand, teaching mindfulness to patients should be based in a therapist’s own mindfulness experience, while on the other a growing number of studies show that therapists can benefit personally and professionally from mindfulness classes. This book is very helpful for developing mindfulness as a therapist’s ‘home base’.”—\u003cb\u003eProf. Dr. Thomas Heidenreich, Hochschule Esslingen\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“This is the first book supporting therapists in their personal mindfulness practice.
