Dear Friends:
Since new research on mental health conditions emerges all the time, you know how important it is
to stay up to date on which therapies are best for which disorders and why. Mindfulness isn’t just a
passing trend among therapists—research now supports the use of mindfulness meditation for the
treatment of many mental health conditions and medical problems.
In The Mind’s Own Physician, an intriguing dialogue featuring the Dalai Lama, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and
Richard Davidson reveals research that shows the dramatic impact the mind can have on overall health
and well-being. For any mental health professional seeking to understand the mind’s impact on overall
well-being, I heartily recommend this book.
Also debuting is the new edition of our classic self-help workbook, Thoughts and Feelings. We’ve
updated it to include defusion techniques, revised methodologies for exposure, and values-based
behavior activation strategies. Thousands of therapists use this book with their clients, and we felt that
many readers could benefit from learning these new skills. We’re proud of the additions we’ve made
and hope you incorporate this new edition in your work with clients.
Finally, I am pleased to introduce a much-needed addition to New Harbinger’s dialectical behavior
therapy self-help library: The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Anxiety. This
workbook is an essential adjunctive resource for those who struggle with anxiety and avoidance.
As you browse these pages, I’m sure you will find more than a few books that can benefit your
practice. Thank you for supporting New Harbinger by demanding resources grounded in evidencebased
therapeutic modalities. Your clients deserve nothing less.
All the best,
Matthew McKay, Ph.D., Publisher
