Mindfulness For Two

Kelly G. Wilson, Ph.D., is associate professor of psychology and clinical psychology at the University of Mississippi. He is co-author of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and more than forty-five articles and chapters related to acceptance and commitment therapy issues. Wilson is among the most sought-after ACT trainers. His popular experiential workshops touch thousands of clinicians and students each year.

Kelly Wilson does a masterful job of framing the many different ways in which a therapist grounded in mindfulness might skillfully nurture greater awareness and self-knowing in his or her clients. His approach is a very creative use of mindfulness within the dyadic relationship, both verbal and non-verbal. Of course, it is impossible to engage authentically without continually listening deeply to and learning from the myriad 'dyadic relationships' we have within ourselves, as he so aptly and honestly recounts. This book makes a seminal contribution to the growing literature on ACT and its interface with mindfulness theory and practice.
