Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Program for Treatment of Addictions: A Manual to Support a New Model of Addictions Treatment: The Inclusion of Mi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783656875963)

Master's Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Guidebooks - Self-help, Psychology, course: Masters of Counselling Psychology, language: English, abstract: The construct of mindfulness has become a very strong influence in current changes to interventions in the area of stress reduction, depression relapse and is now seen as relevant to addiction relapse prevention. This paper explores some of the background materials pertinent to the construct and inclusion of mindfulness in treatment. Models of addiction and addiction relapse prevention are then explored leading to the current dynamic modelling. Finally the model of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention, which has been proposed by a number of authors, is explored. A proposed manual to integrate the previous work in relapse prevention while supporting it with a current model of mindfulness, will give shape to this emerging reality building on existing relapse prevention programs and mindfulness-based therapy.
