Rezensionen

"Meditation and Yoga in Psychotherapy is good reader-friendly book for both people new to these concepts as well as the seasoned meditator, yogi or yogini who wants to deepen their knowledge and practice with clients. The Simpkins are at their best in describing how everyone can learn to integrate their own brain, body, and mind to facilitate a creative synchrony of healing and well being." -- Kathryn Lane Rossi, Ph.D., Los Osos, California
