“The editors have brought together leading international experts in third-wave behavior therapy to stretch the boundaries of existing treatments. The book addresses a full range of complex, often hard-to-treat disorders and problems in living. There is no finer compilation of clinical wisdom on empirically supported applications of mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion.”

“This volume offers therapists an innovative, insightful, process-driven framework for grappling with complex clinical presentations. Moving beyond symptoms and comorbid diagnoses, the book makes a compelling case for therapy that engages idiographic, dynamic change processes. Applications of mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion are amply illustrated through clinical transcripts and examples. This book will be of broad interest to therapists and students who want to learn about the cutting edge of third-wave treatments.”

“There is often a considerable gap between psychotherapy texts describe and what actually happens in therapy rooms. Clients rarely present with a single, well-defined disorder; therapists are guided by competing priorities; and therapy follows its own organic course. This substantial volume addresses that gap directly and honestly, capturing a pivotal moment in the field—the move from disorder-specific protocols toward process-based, transdiagnostic practice. The consistent structure across chapters—population, evidence, case example, in-depth technique, limitations, resources—makes the book genuinely usable and valuable for therapists and therapists in training.”

“As a clinician and trainer specializing in treatment of people who experience serious mental illnesses, I find this book invaluable. It brings clarity to the nuances of co-occurring problems and offers evidence-based, compassionate guidance that genuinely reflects the realities of clinical work. Each chapter presents practical, adaptable, process-based interventions, supported by rich case material and thoughtful clinical insights. This is an essential guide for clinicians seeking to deliver effective, person-centered care in the context of severe and enduring mental health difficulties.”
