Rezensionen

"This book is a peek inside the minds of clinical scientists who are doing cutting-edge research on attachment, compassion, shame, parenting, mindfulness, and positive psychology. The content offered on this cluster of topics is thoroughly satisfying while it inspires readers to pursue their own informed questions. Highly recommended for curious clinicians of all stripes - students, academics, and professionals." -Christopher Germer, PhD, Harvard Medical School, USA

This is simply the best introduction to this extraordinarily valuable approach. It is highly recommended for experienced practitioners, as well as those starting out in psychotherapeutic practice." -Professor Peter Fonagy OBE, Head of Division for Psychology and Language Sciences at UCL
